With the new airplanes coming at this rate keeping them staffed would seem to be the priority, not lowering morale and losing even more than they are. Now is the time for pilots to shine, we have options and people will continue leaving/not come here if the domicile they want is no longer attainable and the pay is the lowest in the industry.
