‘What’s wrong with a training delay’...? How about being on a training wage for a year longer then you expected for an absolute starter... You don’t know other people’s situation so I don’t know how you can apply a blanket ‘5 minute march to airlines’. You then continue to say the regional could potentially go under (which I agree with). The employee won’t have turned a dollar over for the company for a year and has actually been an overhead cost to the company (more then one pilot if my understanding is correct)! As if potential unemployment is not a good enough reason to be worries about being on a training delay!
