Where to get the pilots to fly these? That's not a problem. Plenty of 500-600 pilots will jump. Might even get some street CAs in on the deal, too. Next thing you know, PCL pilots are getting furloughed b/c NewCo 70 seaters are replacing the 50 seat routes. They can do it because technically it's two different companies and two different seniority lists. It happened at Mesa with Freedom, it happened at TSA with GoJets, and it could definately happen at Pinnacle. |
Which goes to show how important a strong, united pilot group is. Win or lose, I think we have that or I would not be here.
