I simply said that Moxy is an opportunity for JB drivers to leave if they are unhappy. I’ll admit it was sarcastic but dude...relax.

I’m not over here gobbling up blue juice.

If you think DAL profit sharing is larger because they have more airplanes then you are primed for the Bluejuice.

If you add them up, there are 20,000 pilots working at the regionals.

I predict in the next year or two, as the first of the repeated tsunami waves come crashing, the big 6 will be hiring half of the (non-lifer) regional captains every year, repeatedly. Read that again. Let it soak in.

I bet we will see hiring bonuses at LCC's within the next 3-4 years.

You don't think they would rather go to one of the many high paying airlines?

You don't think they haven't had their apps in for years or decades at those high paying airlines?

It's harder to get hired at delta than admitted to Harvard. What do you not understand about that?

I doubt it. My old flight school in AZ trains 900 pilots a year. One single flight school.

At least at Harvard you could pay some money, fake a waterpolo pedigree and/or make a substantial donation to tip the scales....

And not have to constantly monitor guard for “infractions”.

According to the FAA stats, the average age of ATPs has increased continuously for the last 15 years and is currently 51 years. The average age of CFIs has done the same and is now 48.2 years.

2017 and 2018 are the first years that we have seen an increase in pilot training after 14 continuous years of decreases.

We have dug a hole we’ll be 5-10 years getting out of.

Delta is by far not the only hiring and paying well. If Moxy pays terrible wages, at this point in time in history, it may very well have trouble staffing the company.
