And how is that different from the Blowjet guys.....they will be the first in line to take a job at Norwegian because hey, its all about building your time and getting out of there...

I thought there was a shortage of pilots both domestically and internationally. So if a company like NAI were to lower wages and benefits, wouldn't that further deepen the pilot shortage? I mean who wants to invest the time and capital in becoming a pilot if it continues to not be a viable career.

A LOT can happen in five years. Is your company strong enough to go 5 years in the red. Doubtful. An ounce of prevention....

By the way, if you've taken action on NAI through the ALPA emails, there's now a bill HR 5090 to essentially stop NAI, and you should have an email to quickly and easily encourage your Representative to support that bill in your inbox. Quick and easy. Let's follow through.
