This business is ciclycal so I hope this is just a trough.
Marginally bigger? Our pilot group has just about doubled in the past decade. To be fair, the engine issues are driving the stagnation. We dodged a bullet on our attempt to scale up the business (merger with spirit). Now's the time to regroup, repair the operation, avoid chapter 11 so we can COMPETE AND GROW in the future.
Besides United and Delta, who are making moves and doing them well? Spirit? Frontier? Southwest? Allegiant? American? Breeze? Alaska?
