In the end, flights are notoriously late which we know we are famous for but the people get there. Top brass get's their stock distributions worth millions as said in another post: '85,000 > RH , 55,555 > JG". The rest will get their bonuses, and we get to deal with the aftermath when somebody didn't bother to book you a hotel and you are standing in the terminal at 2am with the janitors staring at you while on hold and off the clock.
Why put out more and make it legal with a contract when you can just throw in a few quarts of oil to replace what is getting burned rather than paying for an overhaul.
That's all true, right now. But you said in your original post that Orlando has no prayer of doing the training they are expecting to do, so my point was and is at some point in the near future the attrition combined with a training backlog will cause a staffing disaster. The metal is moving now, but that is no guarantee it moves as planned in the future, just like the famous investment disclosure...
