Management will reduce hiring requirements as much as they need to keep people coming in the door.
You can call me all the names you want but it won’t change reality.
You’ve been attacked and now you’ve dug right in. I think you are taking this issue too personally. We are in early openers now focusing on economic issues. I’d say it’s working. If all the carriers that offered 90/hr or more first year were getting contracts after negotiating for less time than us then asking the question: “
How long does it have to not work before you will admit it WON’T work?” would be appropriate. But at our current situation it comes off as insincere and not logical. Frontier management raising first year pay to 90/hr is all the evidence anyone needs to realize that raising first year pay is not going to bring our pilot group more leverage.
