You and I agree on this. We will
be fat pilots. Hiring will come to a halt. When hiring resumes it’ll likely be entirely horizon people via the pathways program. It’ll be used as a way to continue the argument of “you’re lucky to be here so you’ll be paid less”
it should scare the ever living daylights out of every pilot here how quickly aag decided to chop half their airline when staffing got tough. Might be a canary in the coal mine moment for Alaska

So does hiring come to a stop as we displace 500+ pilots from the Bus to Boeing? The math for crews per plane is quite clear. Unfortunately I see the next 18 months being a re-set.
