There will always be churn as long as there is a legacy to go to. It’s spirits job to minimize that churn to the point where it’s enough to keep things cheap with “juniority” but not high enough that it affects the operation and you lose money.

From day one in class a new hire sees complete chaos from a scheduling standpoint and it doesn’t stop. After a mess of a schedule they finally make it to the line exhausted and stressed out. Then they get hung up by a wx event and see the CA can’t even get a hold of scheduling and ends up buying hotel rooms himself so they don’t sleep in the airport with the FAs. Gee I wonder why there is excessive churn at the bottom.

This is all controllable but they cannot recruit the support staff to make it all happen bc they don’t want to pay more than the competitors. They are used to being cheap bc that’s the model. So to save money on salaries they lose millions bc of turnover and underutilization of the fleet.

And last I checked most of the other airlines are making money so let’s not say this stuff happens as often elsewhere as it does here
