Hopefully hiring at those airlines will result in enough attrition that any potential staffing changes in the form of downgrades and furloughs are mitigated.
We’re no where near that much doom & gloom…did you not see the email from DM today? Yes, more IL’s for April, but then they are planning all hands on deck for a busy summer…Originally Posted by flysnoopy76
If American, United, and Delta continue with their reduced but still historically large hiring numbers I don’t see Alaska’s retention of pilots staying where it is now. Alaska is stopping hiring, captain downgrades are likely, and although I haven’t heard the furlough word mentioned yet, those typically will come with downgrades. If the three large airlines continue hiring, I’m not sure the current environment at Alaska will be very appealing to those who are sitting on reserve for a couple years with no end in sight.Hopefully hiring at those airlines will result in enough attrition that any potential staffing changes in the form of downgrades and furloughs are mitigated.
