It’s gonna have to be both. No one will stay for just one or the other if they can get hired elsewhere and get the whole enchilada.

Today is my last day flying for a WO carrier before heading to AA, but if they offered me seniority + longevity + narrow body pay protection to stay here for 2-3 years, I’d take that deal in a heartbeat. Most likely, so would a lot of other guys sitting in class elsewhere.

Until then they’re going to struggle with staffing, assuming this hiring environment.

As I mentioned earlier, everything has a price, be it my time in an RJ, or mainline unions helping to solve this regional staffing crisis. Management simply doesn’t understand what the price of the former is, and likely doesn’t want to even ask the price of the latter.
