We’ll see….
Hopefully this unwinds some of the west coast displacements but this does nothing to help Denver folks. A new base will also have some drawdowns of pilots to cover the flying. Only so many new hires flowing in per month for the initial start. We saw this when BNA opened. These displacements will be here for a while and we absolutely need to prioritize guardrails to counter the companies ability to displace people on a whim when the staffing is shifting in the schedule every day and month.
