Yep. And I don’t think it’ll end up getting forced. Between the reserve rule improvements possibly enticing people already on property and plenty of go-getter 30 year old RJ captains that probably wouldn’t mind immediately making 250-300k a year.
and if it does? I mean that sucks but so does getting stuck with a cross country commute to a terrible schedule in the right seat like it did for new hires ten years ago. So does getting stuck on a WB to commute to global reserve right now. I wonder if they’ll get the free year of positive space for first upgrade. That alone takes away quite a bit of the sting.
I’m not for leaving the probies for dead in contract negotiations but I’m also not particularly concerned about the slight possibility of new hires getting forced into the left seat in indoc.
