Quote: Uffda. I didn't know we leased back 2 -800s in addition the 5 -900s. 7 Airplanes that we could, and should be flying, yet we're not. All because of a captain shortage. Another terrible permanent position bulletin. And, oh, we probably could have made $10M more during summer flying if we had enough captains. The fact that we aren't operating 7 of our own airplanes feels like a slap in the face.

At what point does a savvy CEO say "I think I can use part of that $10M to fix the upgrade problem"? But here we are.
At what point do we, as savvy airline pilots, say “I might not be the smartest in the room on this one, the people who know the numbers inside and out might be more knowledgeable than me, and the long term solution to an upgrade problem might cost more than the $7M-$10M we left on the table this quarter.”
