I think management will get their numbers from natural attrition. Most pilots who joined within the last year had indicated to me that they won't be going anywhere. A lot of the 5+ years guys won't be going either. So just maybe, natural attrition will work out alright. Not to say that they're happy with the new raise, but most of them think it's a lot better than nothing.
I agree with IB, the real issue is the flight attendant exodus. Although they're recruiting again, the experience base will suffer. And that of course is a safety/quality service matter.
Al Fakhem Snr, please tell me now once and for all without a shadow of doubt. Taking into account the age of the aircrafts, are GF planes unsafe to fly?
