So what’s the new CEO’s game plan for the ATR? It seems as though the long serving troops on the front line are still trapped by the ‘cap’ and generally unhappy. Doesn’t look like there’s a flood of new pilots interested in joining the fleet either.
Is it time to bring back the Ejet? Maybe then they could attract some new pilots with the prospect of a good wage/base/career progression and take back all the flying given to Alliance. Who knows, they may even be able to expand their regional ops and actually be a challenger to Qlink.
Either way, the new CEO needs to pay some attention to the ATR. He has an untapped resource of group pilots who could serve the ATR (if the right incentives are put in place) or move onto the jet fleet as their respective positions have allowed for years. Hopefully he doesn’t alienate them like the old boss did and create another exodus.
