Reality
The truth is, G7 is in fact holding their head slight above water. In the last 90 days they have lost over 150 pilots. They are placing bets on attracting new hires with Aviate… which is all seniority driven. That and three flows which are really not flows at all. They only serve two purposes. 1. To falsely attract pilots. 2. To restrict pilots who are on property from applying outside the flow. They are merely a way to somewhat control attrition.
If G7 cannot staff their own airline, United will simply pull the contract… that simple. The flying would then go to SkyWest… they own the aircraft now.
The demise of the airline is coming. Upper management has no interest in improving the current CBA… and now that the 550 is solely on property… they want 50 seat pay rates… so you all can sit and think about that for a while…
