We are a publicly traded company, management answers to the board and shareholders. They don’t get to decide if this thing “tanks”.
Ted, Bendo and the lot are always a few bad quarters away from updating their resumes themselves. The moment we start parking aircraft they will be the first ones to answer for lack of planning.
Despite all the hyperbole, we are still low single digit attrition. We are still on track to have more pilots at the end of this year than we did at the start. I’ve said it before, if we hit 10% attrition and empty classes with no viable plan from the C-suite, I’ll be the first one to join in with criticism (especially as a shareholder)…. but until then acting like we are currently in some sort of ‘crisis mode’ is disingenuous.
