No real dog in this fight. But, have you ever heard of Frank Lorenzo?
Did I just age myself? For you youngsters, Frank Lorenzo was a very important man! Adored by some, loathed by most. With today’s pilot market his tactics would equal to “****ing into wind.”
Don’t take my word for it. A little research will show that some Regional pilots are making something like $300k or even more! Do we think that their management found religion all of a sudden? Did they become lovers of labor all of a sudden? Or, could it be that they just can’t staff their pilot ranks?
My theory is that for those that don’t wanna pay and play, they will eventually suffer the consequences via recruiting shortfalls and attrition.
