Fun fact, this Monday, April 26th is "World Pilots' Day", let see if they do anything....I won't hold my breath.

For the record I don't need or want an "appreciation day".

That of course requires planning and forward thinking....

Yet PDT spends money sending recruiters to Sun N Fun for a week when we are not even hiring and apparently have plenty of people in the “pool”. I’m not asking for a pizza party, maybe just an email that says “Hey thank you pilots”.
I bet if pilotDru or Flywitgilbert asked to be recognized the company would use them for the “face” of the pilot group on the company website.... oh wait....

Presumably they'll be gone the second hiring resumes. Apparently B6 was hiring FOs and CAs and NK was targeting FOs. We're already back to 11 day off lines for what looks to be most of the pilot group with lots of extensions, so I'd say it's safe to say we're already undermanned again.
