“They can’t fire all of them; they were already trying to “re-hire” and train new pilots to handle the shortage in the summer.”
Hey, there is a “blue-flu” sick out happening...you were correct, however the pilots aren’t walking off the job, and that was my point. However, I didn’t believe the pilots were even “sicking out,” so I was wrong with that opinion.
What you are missing is that....unless pilots are near retirement, they are not going to throw away their career. There are always summer shortages for pilots.
Thought it was the air traffic controllers, not the pilots? The controllers are in a union.
ATC, SW, and AA unions are all protesting at this time. But SW apparently refused to listen to concerns from pilots, so they walked off the job.
They blame ATC so that they don’t have to pay for hotel rooms for people because it “wasn’t the airline’s issue.”
The difference is, ATC has a federal union...they really can’t be fired....the pilots can be fired.
They can’t fire all of them; they were already trying to “re-hire” and train new pilots to handle the shortage in the summer.
