And the game is now to lock everyone in that’s at a regional now, for the long term. Let them fight for the scraps of the regional flying and the “privilege” of teaching mainline hires who do 1 year and go fly a CS100. They can get people to sign up for long term training contract/indentured servitude jobs, making union representation useless, as the individual pilots are beholden to the company. Multi crew licenses, European style, are soon to follow, to eliminate the 1500 hours of CFI problem
But all I hear from people is roll over and let it happen... and I’m not sure why
