Seriously folks - do you really think we are going to have trouble finding qualified candidates that you will want to fly with?

Between the military folks who are fed up, the regional pilots that have been waiting for two years to apply and the corporate guys that got a lot of time during the pandemic, we will be fine for 1-2 years.

I think ivory tower folks may have to cough up a new contract (which I hope is after Delta and United’s), but our base structure, cash position, and longevity of not furloughing (I know, I know - we got the warn letters - but no one’s feet hit the street) - we will be just fine from a recruiting standpoint. The training standpoint may be another question.

The regionals on the other hand will be a whole different story within 12 months. I would not want to be flying with what they be able to put in the cockpits bu the end of 2022.
