Won’t ever make that mistake again, please forgive me

LCA’s are likely to be what finally kills the regional model because 1) the levers to increase supply are very limited 2) adding lca to an app is pretty much instant multi CJO currently 3) the full throttle hire/upgrade bilge pump currently keeping the regionals afloat will very quickly fall behind without lca’s

They are on it, but it takes months. They have a whole bunch in training to become check airmen. But in the short term that sucks training resources exacerbating the problem. And still they are losing check airmen to the majors…
