My point was its going to take more then a pay raise now..... or it better be a very BIG raise to out weigh the flow at AAG.

I would agree with you Kyle. If you want to end the shortage you have to go for it, Or we will keep coming back to the table every3-6 months to renegotiate. Seems like thats a waste of time and money.

Management 101: Can't Predict the Future. React, don't get proactive. The great success stories are always some story about a proactive strategy that worked, but they don't make that gamble every day. You gotta remember, Lorenzo was right for 25-30 years, and he may prove to be right again. We should still have good jobs with good pay for a while, enjoy it.

In my opinion... ain't going to happen. Unless somehow the DL hiring department has a major overhaul. NO SHORTAGE OF LEGACY PILOTS. Delta will be able to select their pilots for a long time. Regionals will come and go....and will continue that way until solidarity....which will probably never happen because ALPA doesn't represent the regional pilots as a whole. Broken system

American would be able to hire fine as well. The flow isn't for the major, but to entice people to go to their regional.

Finally someone gets it!

Gets it? Are you an Endeavor recruiter? Who wouldn't want a job in their back pocket while they look for other work! Give me a break son!

Just curious after looking back at some old posts. How close have they come to the 350 CUG/29+ Per month in 2016?

Just off the initial notices they asked for 275 upgrades so far this year. One more notice will come out before the end of the year.

And I believe the actual number of upgrades is a little higher. If it follows the same trend as the first 4 will put it very close to 350 for calendar year 16.

What the he$$ are you talking about. The majors aren't having that much of a problem staffing right now, but the regionals are. They need solid pay,solid work rules and solid career progression(staple/flow) to keep the aircraft staffed.
