He could be right. Personally I (as well as the rest of the pilot group) don’t think we’ll hire the 2160 new-hires they state they will and the MAXes will still keep coming whether it’s the 7s or 8s. I believe we’re supposed to get 100 of them in 2023.
Our network is stretched thin because we robbed jets from it to open up the 18 new cities during Covid and now there’s not enough frequency between our core cities which makes operational recovery harder from wx events.
Kirby’s right. UAL did invest more in their operation and earlier on then F9 or SWA and he’s also spot on when he says that it’s a years long fix to catch up (should our management ever get their heads out of their a$$es and admit to themselves that they actually need to catch up).
