Wow! That is really counterintuitive at a time airline hiring is starting to heat back up and qualified pilots are getting harder to find and keep, and they choose now to make negative changes like that and with the insurance. Sounds like it's time for the long rumored and whispered WUPA....

All the big players in the 135 charter world (low tier/bottom feeders)...WU, Jet Linx, Fly Exclusive etc will always have people working for them for various reasons. However when things turn around which is already happening they are going to struggle to retain/find pilots. All these companies making demoralizing changes isn’t helping either.

They better figure it out before this summer lol. Word on the street is we should be seeing some sizable salary increases at WU, hopefully within the next couple months. Attrition is picking up big time right now. Right before covid WU and Gama were apparently days away from getting a pretty sizable pay increase in, but covid stopped that. Now it’s coming back

Also, the scenario that you’re describing is one of Management being proactive... 😜😝

The majors and higher paying 135/91K (netjets etc)
This is straight from multiple people in management/training dept. I’ve called and talk to separate people who can all said this is being talked about for potentially this summer. This is on the WU/gama fleet
I’ve heard this from multiple different people in the management/training dept. our attrition is rapidly increasing
