Just a rumor but I heard that an agreement with a second flight school is being negotiated so any negotiation leverage we thought we had is quickly going away. Paying for ratings and replacing attrition is much much cheaper than giving the whole pilot group a large raise. As I've been saying for a long time, expect no TA for years.
