-Their buy on board is product is far superior. Actual food, not just garbage.
-They operate consistently with 90+% load factors.

You omit the fact that the pilots are treated like ****! They move domiciles around to punish unions making demands. Their work rules are non existent and seniority means virtually nothing. Call in fatigued and shortly after you might be unemployed. Read online how Ryan Air actially employs pilots.

I read his post. He has a CJO. He will go to UAL at some point and he won't lose any seniority there. They have suspended hiring for two months. They are reducing fleet plans for 2024 by 22 aircraft. That means they can pause hiring. They will pick right back up.

The lost generation of pilots won’t listen to the *****ing for very long without telling them to quit crying.
