You’ve been here three months.... almost. Tell oh sage of all things airline. How should we fix it?
We have doubled in size in two years. Added an entirely new to us fleet type.
Opened facilities for training in two more cities.
Lost an average of 8 pilots/month.
Delivered 50 aircraft
Shut down a fleet
All from a 1970s wood paneled airplane hangar outside a chicken farm
Aaaaand you have to wait for sims for a couple weeks while being paid as a captain from day one with a yuuge wad of cash in your pocket. ****
You know we are slotted for only 60ish Jets right? RSV much? It’s a special kind of he— here. Enjoy

And then pair up FOs?
Have you ever seen the hot mess that is?
Is that fair for them? Two helo pilots or two riddle rubes? Or a 121 FO with one of the above. Might as well upgrade the FO with the work they have to put in
