Summer is going to be crazy...definitely will RT june-august.
The training bottleneck is self induced on their part, mainly because of how they offered the MOAD, then VEOP.
UAL did displace on a smaller scale and kept all their pilots flying very minimally to keep recency.
They are now resuming off the street hiring.
