Regarding people staying at Regionals because of the money:
Im WO AA F/O. The only change I’ve seen is not as many people bailing for LCC’s. I haven’t seen anyone staying with an offer from a legacy or UPS/FedEx, because most people know that would be incredibly shortsighted, unless maybe someone is close to retirement here or other very specific circumstances.
That being said, who knows what’s going to happen. I grew up around the industry, have seen the suffering and am thrilled to be here. I drive to work, and as second year F/O my W2 will show 6 figures for the first time in my life. Pretty good gig.
