Almost every pilot on the seniority list could replace their income at the big 4 in that time. 7000 new hires needed this year how many of our young pilots going to stick around to see if the company will value them in 2 to 4 years from now. I know a few that took the wait and see approach last time and got stuck here when it slowed. They have stuff out to several places few have CJO's already. Heard of several pilots having interviews coming up at SWA. Attrition maybe slower now but its just starting to pick up, could be crazy by summer.
yep this is exactly my thinking as well, if negotiations dont start moving. in 3 years i could be in the same state making more. if overnights are a possibility here then its a no brainer. after watching lax and austin closures, this company doesnt care about us. still waiting to see how they fill those FLL FO vacancies. 3000 TT is the sweet spot i've heard.
