Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. There are a lot of pilots that thought their airline was too big to fail…but were wrong.
I certainly hope not, they have a lot to offer if the management start playing ball or are even changed to people more willing to listen. I am not sure how desperate they are for pilots at the moment but I do believe from 2022 it will get a lot worse than what it has been over the last 2 years.
Class sizes apparently are already very small and there is no chance of getting the 25+ pilots they wanted per class and only getting smaller. So either they will wake up and have a come to Jesus moment or as you say go down with the ship if they really don’t care.
Hopefully common sense prevails and the right people end up in the right places to sort out the mess….one can hope still…
