Easier said than done. It is a pretty darn crap job.
have you changed the chairman’s FPL? They used to be 90 hrs IIRC and were “supposed” to do some fly back.
How do you recruit one? Try asking a few. When I rebuilt all the committees in NY it wasn’t a stampede of people asking for jobs. It was repeated emails, Facebook posts, EL posts, and a lot of talking. As we picked up our pace and started having positive impacts on things for the pilots, more started volunteering without us seeking them out. Want a lifer, go get one. There’s probably several who’d be good, would do it, but just don’t know how to go about it.
