yes, they will be. Not today, but as the shortage worsens (like pre-Covid) their attrition will outpace hiring. Why do you think they predict wanting to be hiring 7,000 over 1.5 years?
wanting and doing are two different things.
Republic, Skywest and Mesa will downsize during the shortage. The ones like Commutair, Air Wiskey are in big trouble without serious business model changes.
