It’s my understanding the first new hire’s on property were not being compensated for months, but guaranteed some type of stock options (don’t know the specifics).
I find it hard to believe that 15 year OO Captains and LCAs would leave and roll the dice on an upstart airline. They’re lifers at OO for a reason.
