So if that is all true and y’all are going to be super profitable why can’t you offer the best pay? Seems like you will already have the growth so why would there be an attrition problem?
The greatest pilot shortage/hiring spree in living memory skewing pay norms and contract expectations?
Kinda like how the ramper bidding war had all of us sitting off the gate waiting on marshalers while the ramp personnel jumped from vendor to vendor looking for the best pay.
You know the answer. And you know why our management is willing to churn through half the seniority list rather than pay another dime. They’re stingy bastards stuck in a mindset not current with the times, and won’t make a preemptive move because the cost benefit analysis on competitive pay versus pilot churn doesn’t yet favor the former.
