What's the plan?
Hope and pray the legacies slow hiring for any reason.
Use any means necessary to get people in seats. (Foreign pilots, pilot flow programs)
Plan b. Don’t grow as much as advertised.
Plan c. Sell the airline.
Plan d. After decades of struggles and 437 pilots left on property…a contract good enough to attract and keep pilots.
