...let alone any operator still flying aviation dinosaurs like the L1011!
Strangely enough, Dan, for certain types of operation, the 'ole TriStar still makes a handsome profit for its operators, mainly on a seasonal basis.
Make no mistake, CC are a dime a dozen, and always will be. Many charter operators hire fresh new faces, put 'em through a major airlines training course (oddly enough, a profit center for that major carrier), and these new folks perform just fine. Satisfaction all around.
Don't make the mistake of considering CC anywhere in the same boat as experienced pilots.
Pilots take far longer to train than CC...not in the same league by any stretch of the imagination.
If BA pilots could be brought in line, CC should be a cinch.
Will the concerned CC like it?
Most likely not, so they have the option of packing their bags and moving on.
Simple as that.
