I mean, I think NK management is literally trying to staff every base they can. Isn't that the entire point of the reduction bid? To force pilots into bases that they want to grow? At the end of the day, attrition is so absurd they have to.
It still blows my mind why management waited so long to give pilots more money, in an attempt to at least stem some of the attrition. They really didn't even try. Even according to the union, it'll be until Feb or March till we see a new pay rate. Blows my mind how losing 30 mil in Q3 is better than giving pilots an even remotely decent pay raise when we can't even put aircraft utilization even close to where it needs to be.
