Upgrade is definitely I’d say over a year right now.

So is home basing gone or is it just for the top seniority and are you guys still on the pay freeze? I’m guessing business is picking up with March Madness, casinos, ICE?

With ACMI, ULCC’s and regionals really starting to hire again home basing will be back sooner than later. Lots of movement for the industry in the coming months for sure.

Quality of life items like returning to positive space travel or not having to fly in the day before to your crash pad will be some of the first changes as turnover starts to ramp up. Hopefully pay and retirement benefits are in the same category.

It’s been crazy, I’m sure every acft is out flying. We’re supposed to get a pay raise this month but we haven’t heard anything about it yet.

Home basing is just 26 pilots. They’re opening Dallas and Oakland in May.
