Not likely to be an attention-getter at headquarters. It usually all works in their favor…Further delays on 737 deliveries, a buyer for more of the 320 fleet. Senior dudes checkin out…Staffing ends up perfect…They have lots of 4-leaf clover over at Angle Lake

Please explain how shrinking market share and high turnover is lucky.

Currently about halfway through initial, and 3 of my classmates have departed for other carriers. Class started with 19 pilots I believe.

You need to stop believing that you work for an airline….The boutique investment firm that you work for makes a ton of dough…Only sometimes by behaving like a traditional airline…

I don't care how profitable the loyalty program is. Eventually if there's no destination market behind the points, people will leave. And the revenue with it.

Perhaps it's too long term for some people to imagine. Like climate change.

Reserves are getting hammered right now. Extended into off days is becoming the norm. Staffing is far from perfect. Some of this is COVID related, but we are far from properly staffed. People will continue to leave, and I’d expect those percentages to increase.

Low Timers
 
I’ve been flying with quite a few FOs who are moving on to Alaska. When I asked what kind of hours they had I was shocked. Some right at 2,000TT getting picked up now 😳

Military? Other than that, I question the reliability of your post. I'm an IP and have rarely worked with anyone close to those mins.

Not even talking about credit cards….Your last paragraph kinda says it all though doesn’t it…

Thise numbers look so low, until you realize that idiots here walk around and pretend it’s a legacy airline. How many people at real legacy’s are actually leaving?
compare those numbers.
this place is pathetic.
