Even then it’s not really
PBS right? It’s just a system to sort the pairings you are looking for to improve your line. I’ve actually never used it. Just looked at it.

At the end of the day isn’t that all that matters with the amount of hiring taking place?

Like the guy said he’s a new hire and has moved from 1450 to 1150. Most Jr captain is 950. So he’s well over halfway there. As a new hire.

I guess the moral of this story is there is no real reason to come here with all of the better options out there.

If Compass gets United flying, yea inclined to agree. However, if they do not you guys have more leverage with a chance at a new TA with better pay, work rules, QOL etc...XJT really has an opportunity to turn things around and attract more people. May not get everything but something good can come of this.

Facts. Why would they do anything pragmatic? It’s not like any of the other majors are getting smart 🙄.

United adding regionals to whipsaw each other while the real airlines are consolidating and focusing on performance and product. UA cares about one thing and one thing only.

Why would management care to change the price of their labor in regards to how many they are hiring when training can’t handle the current intake?

You could make the argument that it would slow the attrition but it’s just wrong. Who in their right mind would turn down a chance to go to a properly paying job? (which would be a hell of a lot better than the $15/hour a raise XJT pilots deserve)
