SWISS is so pleased with the CSeries it compiled this list of facts/figures about its experience with it:

They will have zero issues finding pilots. Expressjet is about to implode as part of skywest’s long term union busting plan. That’s at least 1500 pilots. Eastern reboot found plenty and from the ones I’ve talked to that came to Spirit, many would’ve stayed at eastern if it hadn’t tanked

I never said he can't find pilots, I said he'll have to pay to get the ones he needs (experienced CA's and LCAs) to take a chance on a startup.

The man ha a proven track record in the U.S. and S.A. It’s a gamble... for sure. However... think about the seniority numbers... 15,000+ with a legacy? Or a range from 01 to 100 with an upstart that has the possibility of growing. You have carriers in the U.S. operating into secondary markets with success. Yeah some, for example Skybus, Independence, People’s Express 2.0 folded.
But at the end of the day, being 15,000 on the seniority list runs the risk of being furloughed, during tough times, for many years... many are too young to remember the ‘70s.
ULCC may not carry the same glory as AA, DAL, UAL, etc... but hey they said SWA, Allegiant, Spirit would never make it... and how are they doing today
?

?Again, I personally find it interesting that Neeleman chose the CS300 despite being the biggest operator of Embraer E190/95s in the world through Azul and JetBlue. If that isn’t a confidence booster in the CSeries program before the big Farnborough Airshow in July I don’t know what is...
