Fixing the flow might have worked in 2018.

that horse is waaaay out of the barn. The majors are going to consume the regional system in 2022 and something will have to rise in its place.

the captain/lca core to keep the current model going is gone. Dl/ua/aa alone are looking to hire over 5000 pilots. It’s game over. Will be really interesting to see what happens

Yes, but those are the same companies that need the regionals.

Um, negative. Those are the companies that need 76 seat aircraft to operate to support their current business model.

As it's becoming very apparent that the current FFD business model is going to be hard to operate in its current form, another way of operating those aircraft is going to be needed.

It hasn’t changed yet so those 76 AND 50 seat aircraft have to be flown by someone, which is going to be a regional for regional pay, even if the pay finally does see a bit of improvement, it won’t be from flying them at mainline.

And when those "someones" (i.e. Regionals) can't get nearly enough pilots to replace the ones leaving for other jobs to show up to class, or their training throughput is limited because they can't keep LCAs around?

Planes don't magically fly themselves.

You are wrong. Check your notes. He was a 4/2019 "hire".

“Game over” 😂😂😂. I got an even better line for the regional model after 2022, “Thanks for playing” 😀😀🤣.

Maybe we should petition the airport audio tracks to play “closing time” by Semisonic every hour for 2022.

Hard to see how the regional model can compete. Even ACMIs pay so well these days. 1st year Atlas FOs making 205/hr, and senior CAs making 520/hr for some flights, without doing OT.

That 50/hr for the dream of flowing one day just isn't going to cut it.
