Well, with the insane bonuses we are starting to see the Regionals give their people to stay and wait for flow or a call from the big 6 instead of leaving for the ULCCs or the ACMIs, Spirit may need to do something sooner than later.

I wonder how many of those resumes are in at other airlines. My rough estimate is 3000 pilots will be hired by the majors (including ULCC and cargo) between now and early next summer.

For now. This is a little short sided.

If you don't think things can't change quickly in this industry then you are either brand new or one of those who just lives in their little bubble. But keep laughing, I'm sure everything will just be fine in your bubble.

All I'm saying is we're doing fine, for now. Yes, that can change, but I also think most guys at regionals aren't going to be persuaded by a dangling carrot of bonuses to pass up a seniority number at a career airline.

I think my response to your douchebaggery covers those questions, with the exception of the resumes...yeah, those 3000 are most likely also on file elsewhere as well.
