Uh...if nukes start getting thrown and flying stops doesn't that mean 100% of the list?

Anyone know why Delta is still pumping out new hire classes and United has stopped for the next several months? Is there something wrong here?

UAL offers leaves of absence for overstaffing and then pulls down training so instructors can fly the line due to understaffing. 100 absences were awarded today just for June. DAL uses a different methodology.

It's because there's been a severe shortage of brain surgeons coming out of med school.

YoNited has some moderate crew/base imbalances which are currently being mitigated.
