If he wants concessions, it needs to be from a record breaking, industry leading contract. Otherwise the bleeding will continue. The question is how long does BB want to remain CEO & in business? RPA is NOT a publicly traded company so no shareholders to please. He does need to focus on pleasing the employees or he will have no employees. Ask Eastern Airlines how that worked out.
We're already 5 days into a recession. The definition is the completion of two consecutive losing quarters. That was June 30th. It's now July 5th, we are 5 days into a recession.
The media will downplay it until after the elections if they can ignore the growing unrest that long.

Have they given us the official 2Q22 with negative Growth? I have not seen it officially, only lots of speculation.

Edit: Preliminary 2Q22 GDP will be released 28 July 2022. Until then, educated speculation and a quarter will get you a cup off coffee.

By my math, that makes educated speculation worth about $2.50 or so. Is uneducated speculation worth more or less?

The rjet management played this card years ago and ended up running everyone off. Rjet hasn’t been the pillar of pilot contacts very long. Rjet used to be a crap hole where pilots only got paid when the door closed and god be with you if there was a delay. With todays pilot market, they are heading down that road again. If they pay $70 hr for an FO they may make it through this, if not they will be gone in 2-3 yrs if not sooner!!

JetBlue is offering them a transition course (or differences) putting them on the E190’s and the FO’s are leaving before they ever get off probation.

The good news for RPA is that their contract is easily the best in the regional industry. They just need to fix the pay scale and iron out a few kinks here and there. The biggest problem facing them right now is that they are bound by contracts and can’t just sh*t out more money.

It is a transition course, BUT everyone has to go through the same training. Whether it’s adding a type rating or already typed and just getting the blessing from the company to hit the line. But you’d know that if… you we’re a… idk an airline pilot

Additionally, idk a single low-ish time FO getting on over there from RPA. 3 people were in JB’s NH class. Average flight time to JB from RPA is around the 2200 TT mark. But again, you’d know that if you were in any of our FB pages

This is 100% correct, you go through the same training whether you have a type or not. It's also more hard evidence that CFI is not a pilot. My bet, CFI is some new FO's wife. That is why she is so concerned about first year pay. She wants her money now!
