Reasons you might not get DSM out of the gate:
1. Established base where pilots have settled.
2. No growth at present, meaning minimal movement, and barely any backfilling of slots.
3. Attrition and lack of new-hires has resulted in scaling back of flying in many bases, so when someone leaves they aren’t filling that vacancy.
4. Company needs to staff new bases e.g. PVU.
The company will put you where they need you, and until we can hire and retain enough pilots to constitute growth, bring on more aircraft etc. this is how things will be for the foreseeable future.
