I like these boards and I treat them like college football preseason polls, they're really fun, but hardly ever accurate!
Guys I am capable of being wrong, I just give you what I am hearing. Things around here honestly change monthly, if not weekly. We were 100% going to furlough, letters were going out… Good on the union, Good on the federal government.
Finance controls marketing here, marketing controls flight ops, plans change. We decided to keep keep an extra 7 Buses for a few more months. We are now going to hire in 2022, and transition in 2023. The 230+- pilots we hire in 2022 will be a majority of our hiring for the next 2 years. I hope that changes though. I hope we hire 200 in 2023 but it looks like fewer then 60 right now.
The HA noise has gotten very quiet, could mean almost anything, I think an announcement on that front will happen in the near future, by next summer.
Small clean up bids until transition training picks up, 10-15 upgrades.
SFO is closing, once that is announced I am hiding out for a few months. I won’t be able to handle the whining on here, no the world does not revolve around any of us. The company will do what is best for the companies bottom line.
It’s summer, take your boats out, go to the ocean, enjoy the mountains. Spend time with your family. Relax!
