Well, I think that HNL may still be a pilot base in addition to those three, but when I look at the way this company operates and the unwillingness or inability to compete with other airlines outside of SEA, I have zero confidence in management’s ability to make their international aspirations come to fruition. I also think the Amazon contract will either be cancelled or not renewed. Ultimately there may not be a need for the pilot numbers you mention being stuffed into our remaining bases.

He'll still be miserable and have a whole new set of problems to complain about. Example: his entire career.

A pilots use of their sick time is the utilization of an accrued benefit and should be viewed as such by both the pilot group and management. Other work groups are treated like adults and term this benefit “PTO”, which seems to have much less of a negative connotation. Some who communicate with the pilot group regularly even put it in their emails to communicate when they’ll be out on “PTO”. Attempting to control how a pilot uses THEIR accrued benefit and any attempt at influencing the use of said accrued benefit should be viewed as overreach, just the same as if management attempted to influence how you spend your paycheck or invest your 401k savings, and treated as such. Such overreach should be forwarded for ethics review accordingly.
So now they assume religious beliefs and after 2021-2023 think they have a handle on science and medicine? I assume they’ll also consider how many kids a pilot has at home, how the flu is spreading in those kids schools and any other factors that contribute to household sickness.
All completely laughable.

The rumor was that if we opened SAN we would have to reduce LAX and SFO. That seems to be rather accurate.

I'd say it just makes me someone who doesn't get caught up in the Kool Aid silly rah rah rumors that we are going to hire one billionty pilots per month and everyone will get a unicorn. It was fairly obvious with the delivery book being completely empty for the second half of 2026 and all of 2027 that things were going to get very ugly around here.
Now they are.
Now they are.
😝
