The company is going to have to do something to recruit new hires and retain the pilots they already have. As some others have said, it’s not like they can just shift the flying to SKW and RPA. They have the same problem.
EDV has to figure out how to attract and retain pilots at EDV or park AC - it’s that simple.
Before someone chimes in “staple”. While that solves one attrition problem, it easily creates 20+ new problems. It’s highly unlikely to happen as it is neither in DALs financial interest or benefit in the long run.

Pouring people in the bottom won’t work if you can’t retain enough CAs for the FOs to get 1000 hrs of 121 time.

Once this happens there is no going back to the ridiculous spread between let’s say a 900 pay scale and a 717 pay scale.

Now for the last time. All the new hires in the world won’t help if the CAs all leave.
