I’m not even bothering with it

I am excited for you guys to get your pay raise later this year and raise the bar. Don’t let these wall street dickheads kill the airline by pumping short term profitability over the long term health of the company.

The questions are too specific; as in, they don't let you select from all the possibilities. Displaced FOs can only select another FO position. Displaced CAs can only select another CA position. That's not how displacements work. If they're relying on this survey for high-level planning, they're going to be unprepared when the displacement happens.

They also dont want a majority of commuters being based there because when a hurricane pass through then everyone commuting will be OOP. So again, its not because they care abt pilots. Its abt money and protecting the operation when things go sideways.

We are a part of that equation for staffing, and having folks local for when shiet hits the fan, but the decision is not being made for caring about us.

I can’t see a new crew base west of BUF until we get bought/merged with someone else.
