I thought it was curious a year ago that the express jet VP of flight ops came over to be VP of airports. By outward appearances that was a big time for express jet. I’m guessing this has been in the works for a year. Announcing this on a random Monday night before the call seems funny though. Or they could have been waiting for a big down day for the stock to piggy back the news. Either way I’m hoping for the best and curious which c-suite MT will pop up again in.
I'd imagine his contract has him getting paid consulting fees for a number of years as well. $20k+ a month?

Things can be moved.

few players went out. That took 100+ Aircraft out of the UA system. Allowing OO to shift some of the DL birds to the UA side, and also taking over the 25 175’s that that airline was flying making the fleet a wash. Plus the adding of the AA 175’s next summer will cause a ripple effect... all equaling the need to add people to the list in March’ish to satisfy Summer 2021 staffing.. Remember. Training is a “long game” not a fix it right now. Thats what 200% -300% JRM pay is for when airlines did that in the past... I'm done on the topic. We can revisit it in March if we like. Who knows what the world will look like by then. But i stated the plan for now..

The “company” will be smaller. More automated less support staff... but aircraft wise will be the same..Pilot staffing will need to hover around where it is now. With 20-30 people leaving a month that works for staffing until next summer schedule.. I see March classes in our future, to top off before summer 2021 flying starts..
