Good luck in your new job search.
Managers never learn the price of changing a pilot.
About one week ago I found an airline manager of my ex-airline and showed
him how much I was saving per flight regarding flight time, fuel, etc.
I was able to get this data regarding 3 months of operation.
Only then he realized the amount of money involved, of course his airline is going down with operational costs and of course shares already fallen 4 weeks in a row.
The cost of transforming an airline into a type rating school.
Every time an experienced pilot is lost an airline looses as whell.
In your case for sure the money involved for the licence for sure could esally offset the cost of trainning another guy to fly in the same area.
That is called route experience and also has a value.
