3 major carriers have come out in the past week with ab inito programs....and their retirement numbers. Southwest said 48% retirement by 2029. United wants to hire 10,000 pilots over the next decade. That’s 2 airlines right there. United came out with AVIATE program to hire people still in flight school.
Why would we push for a quick contract you ask?
Because if there isn’t one, and a good one at that, you will prob see half of the pilot group turn over as it’s a pilots market anymore... not managements. Look at Atlas. Their turnover is staggering, they have aircraft sitting on the ramp yet still pay for them. How much are they hemorrhaging?
Think K4 wants any part of that?

This isn’t the place for that discussion - it can undermine the negotiating committee. I have full faith in our MEC. Make your voice heard by filling out the survey.

We don’t do much NRT. At least I haven’t. Mostly NGO.
