I didn't hear the call, did anyone push CC on the staffing situation?
I wouldn't call the analyst softballs "pushing" they asked several different ways around the pilot staffing/contract discussion. When is the contract with pilots up, how quickly will those costs be pushed on to customer airlines, etc.
Chip/Wade emphasized numerous times that the shortage is Captains, and that all efforts are focused on CA retention. They even said that hiring pipeline was full through the end of the year.
Lots of digging into the 135 operation by the analysts. Nothing committal, but the dream team said that they expect to see charter flights by the end of this year.
