GAMA / WHEELS UP - Current Pilot Experiences

Who knows what the future holds, but for now it’s safe to assume the status quo.

The whipsaw theory doesn’t hold water either. 10-15 years ago that strategy worked well for the major airlines playing their feeders off against each other with an abundance starry eyed young pilots willing to work for nothing.
Times have changed. If that plan was reintroduced in this scenario Wheels Up would have a major staffing issue. The one thing they are aggressively trying to avoid.

The chances of that happening are close to zero. Wheels Up recently renewed their 5 year contract with Gama. The major airlines use multiple regional carriers to supplement their lift and some they own out right.

It was a 5 year contract that auto-renewed without discussion last summer. To me that says 5 yrs, but I don’t remember them specifying.

That’s what our favorite WUP rep said during recurrent several months ago when I was there. Auto renewed with no time frame. He also scoffed at the hot rumor of WUP buying another operator like Fly Exclusive. I think he actually used the term “ridiculous” when talking about it. Sooo....
