Just remember guys, labor is a (should be a)FIXED COST, it's managements problem to deal with budgeting.
I totally agree. Comair used to be an airline you one day could retire from. A career airline. Then there came Delta.....With that said, I think many of the senior pilots have (had?) a QOL that they couldn't get back if they moved on. So why move?
I think the management should treat these guys with respect and see them as an asset to the company, a resource, not a cost.
The big costs are when you continiously have to train new pilots all the time.
