Just more dishonestly from a company that has normalized deceiving its customers, its employees, and its recruits. Nothing to see here.

In all seriousness this shows how desperate the hiring situation is. Using destinations we don’t fly to and haven’t announced to help in recruiting shows how deceiving the company is. Make more in the first 10 years here over a legacy? You can make $317 an hour at Delta right now if you upgrade like the junior guys are over there.

Well, it’s smart on many accounts. It has people talking. For free.

Will the 321XLR’s go there ? Well, they didn’t buy them to go from ATL to RDU. I hope we never go to HNL. Half the pax are people cashing in their credit card points the other half is filled with non revs. Doesn’t make money. Lima, I think we’ll go to very soon. Especially with Spirit leaving the ULCC arena.

However, since we’re not going to any of those places yet, nor have we announced them, I find it questionable at best to recruit this way unless we announce all 3 soon. In which case i recommend paying attention to your water CBTs since they are all yours I’ll take the flights under an hour.

Just a little clarification on the HNL thing. During the investor day presentation they stated that they're going full speed on their credit card. The advertising definitely shows that they are taking it seriously (CLE). Eventually HNL will come and it will be filled with cardmembers burning through their points.

The flights don't make money, the credit card does.

If it's 1/2 filled with Non-revs, you should be so lucky. I haven't seen a flight to/from the islands with more than a 1/2 dozen open seats in the last few years.

We could put a relief pilot on it and make it a red eye turn from vegas ! It would probably be 13 hour credit and work 7 days a month ! HNL would be popular with Hawaiians. They call vegas the 9th island. I also read the XLR will have some crew rest above and aft of cockpit ? I know United used to do HaWaii turns in the Dc10 back in the day.
