Anyone want to guess what the next union email will sound like. Will it finally be the one where we reach an AIP or will it be the same as the previous, “work in progress yet not progress has been made”

I’m not wrong. I wanted to point out the monthly growth was pretty high at 3x and you want me to be wrong and say it’s 2x because you want me to have been talking about yearly numbers. Both were mentioned and I could have been talking about either. Just drop it.
If you make $20 and spend $10, then you’re spending half of the money you make—it doesn’t matter if the actual bills you spend sat around for a few years first.

For every FO that leaves, a new one must be trained, regardless of how long they’ve been on the seniority list (unless maybe they leave before their type ride).

I can see that you are new here, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt. You are just not very good at this, and not very smart. But yeah, consider yourself dropped.

The new guy is also on first year pay and has longevity that is reset compared to the guy who left and who would have been on each higher part of the pay scale earlier. I don’t think they really care about turnover, so long as metal moves. There are training costs, but there are also wage savings built in to the attrition equation that partially/fully compensate for the costs.

And yet there are people that think the pi$$-poor training and first year pay give the pilots leverage - go figure.

The metal isn’t moving. What part of high utilization of the fleet being critical to profitability is so hard to grasp. Training is maxed. They are out of options if we keep taking deliveries.

It takes 2 weeks for a pilot to quit.
Its taking 3+ months for a newhire to get through IOE these days with the training backlog

Metal is moving at about 80% of what it needs to move.
Planes are coming to be parked because ^see above

They care.

Dont be a dumb dumb like ExCargo and think Management does care about trying to get this fixed. Luckily we dont give management a blank check to fix first year and training pay on its own. No free rides for management.

But please, dont go full ExCargo...nobody ever goes full ExCargo

Excargo never said ONLY first year pay needed fixing. Just said that NK training pay, no insurance, and NK first year pay was disgraceful. BUT WE DON’T HAVE A TRAINING BACKLOG BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN’T COMING HERE. All the claimed wonderful leverage this was supposed to give the pilots isn’t happening. How long does it have to not work before you will admit it WON’T work?

Management will reduce hiring requirements as much as they need to keep people coming in the door.

You can call me all the names you want but it won’t change reality.
