it sounds like a wet dream for the odd pilot with a chip on his shoulder, but the reality is, the flying plan for the 737 post Covid has it doing more hours than it ever has. So maybe network will expand, and I honestly hope that it can soak up some of the crew who have lost their jobs this year. But any expansion will be because the whole group is growing, not because of some industrial ploy.
Agreed.
We can complain that 737 flying has gone elsewhere, but overall the hours are up, not down (pre COVID)..
If the hours reduce then we have a transfer of business problem..
All signs point to greater share of the market for mainline flying, not less.
