Record Pilot Hiring and Aircraft orders
Republic Airlines (UAL CPA provider) filed for Chapter 11 today. I hope we can all offer support for our brothers and sisters at RAH as they start down an uncertain path.
Reflecting on the past 2 years, UAL now appears to have been planning for effects of a dwindling manpower pool. We've hired more pilots than needed for announced growth and attrition and now appear ready to potentially absorb some industry capacity.
Those who have been around for awhile know how quickly the industry can change, but for now it's comforting to see some longer range planning.

More than we needed? What is that statement based on?

It's one thing to say we have been hiring more than will account for attrition, but remember, how drastically we were behind hiring and understaffed for years. Couple that with unannounced aircraft deliveries, it's easy to see the hiring numbers we have today.

Pilots and what they know about the airline business. That's a one page book. Proven over and over and over.
If your a pilot, just shut your trap, fly your contract, support your brothers, take care of the customer and do your job professionally because guess what...you probably got the best one at the whole bloody airline.
If your management worry about the airline business. If your a pilot just live your life and enjoy what a great job this can be beacuse if it all comes crashing down you'll get your chance to worry about a lot of things...

The significant majority of RAH'ers don't want scope erosion at the majors, are doing what they can to move on, are solid professionals and enjoy a beer or two with crews from any airline - again with the standard 2% cutout for fools found at any airline.

You're (NOT your) a true philosopher. But you might wanna lay off the psychedelics before posting.
