More than one regional is hiring DECs right now... There is no excuse to stay at a sinking ship.

I now hear that Silver is giving up 2-5 planes in Florida. I think they are leased planes they are giving back. That's still a large chunk of Silvers aircraft.

I remember when they closed the multiple bases and reduced flying out of IAD to increase flying and expand more from Florida last year. I felt it was painful but logical re-configuring needed to make the company more profitable and therefore increase qol for our employees. Like someone said earlier, I think management has lost its way. I don't know all the economics behind so many adjustments to the operations, but so many constant changes and adjustments is now hurting us. Opening and closes other bases, routes and parking airplanes, are not positive signs I thought I would have being seen by this point time, since these changes initiated last year.
For everyone and their families who work here and hope things stabilize by the end of the year or I reckon the attrition is going to sky rocket by the end of the summer.

Apparently, the company is stopping all (or most) overnights and will only have its pilots fly day trips. That is probably not a recipe for success and will kill commuters. This ain't pretty.

The one good thing is they are giving out 200% pay trips now like every other day. I wonder how long that will last?

What does it tell you about the actual profits before they cook the books that they can afford 200% pay all the time.

Captains sit right seat for 150% all the time it seems like. I am guessing that is where we are headed....

Scheduled vs. how many show up and pass are two different things.
