They have an endless supply of first officers ready to come here.
Look at our union members running for the door. They see the writing on the wall, there is no hope for a new contract. The only reason to stay here is if you have a burning desire to live in Cincinnati or Cleveland. UAL, AAL, and DAL will hire over 5000 pilots over the next 12 months. Do you want to be at the front or back of that wave. Yesterday was the best day to submit your app, today is the next best day.
Is anyone surprised about BL's performance? take a look at his record at Horizon, the guys there certainly jumped for joy when BL "seperated" from Horizon, leaving them in a terrible financial position and company morale at an all-time low. Repeat performance at F9, Can't change the spots of a leopard. Let's be honest here, F9 is a sinking ship with BB and BL running the show. Stock price plummeted to $4.72 today. I would not be surprised if ULCC dropped to $2.25/share. The day-turn model will most certainly fail, prices will further decline, probably booted off NASDAQ, F9 eventually join the ranks of Vanguard, TWA, Eastern, WestPac, and the like. Thank you! BB and B[L]orenzo.
