Maybe your short on mechanics as well. Over worked and no news of their future

Rumor is the few they have left are so overworked that they are throwing the tools down and walking off the job.

There’s a lot of rumors that are unsubstantiated. Rumor has it last Friday we were getting an announcement on our future.

There’s delays for service checks due to lack of MX. They’re overworked at the very least, understaffed most likely. Spoke to a few that immediately took other jobs when the announcement dropped.

So, the mechanics knew enough to abandon ship when the announcement hit, but the pilots did not?

Interesting...

Let's see how this plays out for the pilots.

I know a couple have left for sure, maybe just coincidence/timing. Idk how it works for A&Ps but I’m guessing it’s not all about hours like it is for us. So if there’s a threat to their income and supporting their families I don’t blame them for leaving instead of waiting for a possible pink slip.

They need 1000 hours torque wrench time to be competitive for a major

Needs to be Torque Wrench In Command (TWIC), not just any old torque wrench time will do.

The mechanics are leaving because they found out they were at a regional airline when the announcement hit 😅
