American Airlines Group Inc. plans to move at least 50 jets from its Envoy Air unit to other regional carriers, saying that it can’t keep enough pilots to fly the airplanes. (www.dallasnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
maybe a real shortage of pilots un-willing to work for peanuts
Exactly. I make 3x as much doing software work.. I always wanted to finish my commercial but I can't justify it until it starts at a living wage..

Well, they wouldn't accept the contract and couldn't be sold. Douggie boy will just give them away to nothing and take a tax write off, and probably come out for the better on it. Envoy will lose. Sad, as there are a bunch of good people down there. Can't blame others for talking low wages here. Regional airlines are low enough anyway but methinks the Envoy offer had them beat. All that said, I doubt ALPA really had their interests at heart.
This is what happens when airline tickets are sold on the basis of which one costs one dollar less than the other. We complain about how everything sucks but we've chosen to live inside Wal-Mart. 'Merica.
Somehow I'm thinking there is more to the story.
