$150,000 DE captain at Air Wisconsin. If that’s not desperation, I don’t know what is.

Maybe by June Envoy will be offering $500,000 for a direct entry captain.
There’s plenty of pilots. Just not enough with pic. Over time this bottleneck gets solved. It’s still the ripple from the covid shutdown.
