Whatever. Once we're back to full staffing in Feburary, AAG won't have that to hide behind. When the lawsuit is heard, and the documents the IBT requested to monitor compliance with the CBA are in hand, we'll get back on track.
The day-to-day "OO got this route back! WTF!" stuff is a mere distraction from the strategic victory we are due.
Classes ARE filling up. The lawsuit WILL be successful. It's just a matter of time.

According to company, we haven't had a single day of cancellation in a week now so clearly we've found where we currently stand staffing wise and can rebuild from here.

I can't predict they future, but management has taken steps indicative of wanting to see us succeed. Right now our new VP flight ops is on record saying he expects a healthy airline by February. What that entails, he didn't specify, but I suspect we will see the retirement of Qs and consolidation of routes such that we are able to realistically able to staff AS feed as well as resume hiring / delivery of our E175.
Time will tell, but I still believe we will be fine. Contrary to my previous posts not recommending QX, I must admit that with the departure of the old VP flight ops, things are objectively better.

When applying to a major, pilots who are flying jets at "other regional" will be more competitive than a QX turbo-prop applicant.
I doubt that
