They never hired more than enough to fill seats, never any reserves hired, and a s a result never enough pilots when one guy leaves, let alone when six leave in one month.
Sad to see them go actually, because in spite of their failings for a small company they were better to work for than many much larger regionals.

Just because you haven't thought of it yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Correlation is not causation.

Close to you 100% of doctors have the mental ability to become a professional pilot if they so chose. The percentage of professional pilots who could pass medical school and residency is significantly lower.

Did I say pilots were mindless idiots? Really struggling to understand why you are offended at the fact that Doctors are more educated and valuable to the marketplace than pilots are....even in a global pilot shortage. It’s not a slight towards pilots.
