The reason I think there really won’t be any no shows (and why I think it irrelevant), is with hundreds of active CJOs, the hiring team can make a few calls and fill seats they only just learned they would have empty with three days notice.

Positive space commuting and the TALK like it could become permanent could be attracting commuters - I’m not sure. In base people obviously have a propensity to pick the airline they reside near. But whatever major(s) hits a home run on the next contract will get a hiring edge. With our low percentage of wide body jobs, terrible seat locks, crappy AE and IQ processes and industry standard pay with (currently) zero profit sharing, I honestly don’t know what makes Delta any better than any other peer. And if someone likes money, a simplified commute and understands the time value of money earned bigly early in the career, FedEx sure looks pretty attractive. Lucky for us, they don’t employ/hire nearly as many pilots as AA and UAL.
