So at a point, they have to hire some pilots !
Resignations are 'd say on average for the last 12-18 mnths. Nothing moving that much. May will see a small batch of cadets join (they need 6-9 months of training remember) and thats it untill further notice. No DEC's, no upgrades. Purely due to MAX grounding. Once we have those frames back and the company knows an approved timeline things will move up 2 gears. Remember, around 14 frames on the ground (25% of the fleet) and another 6 or so to be delivered this year. Well that was the original plan...
Now we are overcrewed, voluntary leave and low monthly hours. But that can quickly change. Are Naples and Budapest still starting in June? I know of at least one other unnanounced new destinations with a few more possibilities. It all depends on the MAX grounding.
