Nothing is improving in fact it’s getting worse and no matter how many issues you bring up, they fall on deaf ears.

I do not think that unless some large fundamental changes take place, and soon, will the company survive. It cannot continue to operate the ways it’s operating-period.

My hope is now that management is truly detached from the reality facing them, the FAA steps in and stops this madness. It’s an accident waiting to happen. The entire airline is strained and it has to stop.

There’s only about 1 plane a month coming so the growth is totally doable. Meanwhile they’re trying to make changes to the A220 schedules and virtual bases. More pilots should be getting done with training soon to give relief. It’s a new airline, they’re still trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t.

A220 just started flying only months ago, less than a year.
