Its probably cheaper to keep them. They know that if they furlough zero will take the recall when attrition catches up. So its probably just cheaper to keep them rather than pay out unemployment and retrain new hires in 6 months

If I were them I would keep hiring and corner the market on new FO's.

AWAC is 200 people overstaffed but with attrition of 10-12/month it would take 2.5 years to upgrade? Sounds more like a little less than 2 years to get off FO reserve. Any idea how long reserve would be for a new hire?

It's either a bold faced lie or they know something we don't. Maybe a little bit of both.

Nobody is interested in taking cuts here. When airlines are making record profits, it is hardly the time to ask for concessions. With our payscales as low as they are, they should never really be asking for concessions anyway.

Yeah, fat staff the airline 50 FOs just to "corner the market" at a cost of 1.5 million a year. Oh, and carrying those extra 50 pilots is really going to make a dent in a regional industry with thousands of pilots...

Do you people think before you post?
