What is EtD?
,but in some translations its just Erection to Diarrhea in 5 years. |
Anyone who thinks that ANYONE currently at a regional airline will still be there in 6 years (that doesn't want to be), let alone 10 for crying out loud, is letting their emotions get the best of them.
Numbers don't lie. Unless the economy absolutely tanks the regional feed (pilots) will be absorbed into the majors as the retirements ramp up. I'd be willing to bet that the regionals will be reduced and consolidated and the majors will start taking back scope to a certain degree. There just aren't enough pilots to keep the regionals staffed as the majors have to keep their operation going. Just my .02 |

Because the contract isn't amendable for another 5+ years and why would the company ever agree to it? As often as they've put a bullet in their own leg, they aren't likely THAT stupid. The key is everyone reach out as an alumni and make sure to let the students know that the "neat CRJ" that they just saw as a marketing ploy to get them to work here just headed to Kingman, AZ to be permanently retired from the fleet.... 11 less pilots needed at this company every flight.

Do you actually get to park the plane in its final resting place? Off the taxiway, into the dirt, hauling a$$ around the corner kicking up dust, engines off, dun. Is that how it goes?

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Every mainline carrier would love to have as many regional pilots as possible, while having as few mainline pilots as possible. |
