ZW has a way of throwing a curveball into everyone's crystal ball...


great if they do. But it’s hard to find a credible scenario where single-class 50-seat departures don’t decline substantially in the next year

Yes Deleted. Nothing politically based. Factual news story about oil prices. WTF. Time to get my attorney involved. Free Speech rights are a basic Constitutional right. APC had started a war. So have the people who are driving up oil prices.

Lmao. Please get the government involved to force a private business to do something. Truly the pinnacle of small government libertarian thinking.

isn’t it funny how little these “constitutional protectors” know about the actual constitution?

APC is a bunch of commies. Controlling the narrative. Controlling the message. Not much different than Facebook and look what happened to them. It's time to escalate this to a new level. If you aren't going to run an American forum, then expect the consequences.

It's a privately run forum. You have the right to say what you want. They have the right to do whatever they want with that. There's nothing commie about any of that.

Private businesses choosing how to run their business as they so choose makes them communist. Lmao

United Airlines was forced to cut service to 11 secondary cities across the midwestern USA beginning in January due to the pilot shortage, the company’s chief executive officer says.

“It’s down to pilots,” Scott Kirby tells viewers of the Skift Aviation conference on 17 November. The pilot shortage is now real, we don’t have enough pilots to fly all the airplanes. It’s very simple.”

Let me ask you, do you honestly believe a large portion of those pilots are still looking for work? Don’t think so, snatched up during this hiring spree. So, your comment is no longer valid.

It was years ago that I left.

But I still know people, that know people at one of those carriers. There were many who simply didn't/weren't able to move on. Many, for obvious reasons, un-hirable or simply didn't want to put in the work And that's on them....

On a side note, it's comical that the "contraction" of 50 seats jets (in this case) ISN'T due to their aged out airframes, inefficiency, level of discomfort/customer dissatisfaction, what have you....

....it's a lack of pilots.
