VR costs money, what’ll probably happen is the appearance of a “fantastic opportunity” for mainline pilots to take LWOP and go to other group subsidiaries, solving those entity’s crewing problems and mainline over-staffing in one hit…..
Having said that it seems that the recent spikes in cost of living haven’t decreased passenger numbers at all, from what I’m told forward bookings look strong and plenty of opportunity for more growth, especially internationally. The level of flying that exists now is still below what it was at 2019 levels, so even an economic recession in 2023 which generally would see flying go backwards, would not affect the airline as the airline still has to get to a 2019 level yet.
