Are they getting desperate? Regardless, it's a good thing. Stagnation at the airline while the big 3 will retire 15,000 combined probably changed the policy. Bravo.

Long over due. The catalyst to making this happen was the training of nearly 1000 non typed pilots in house. Improvements to the training department (AQP). No real insurance benefit anymore. And yes. The competitive landscape of the industry was a major factor too in the update. It will be looked upon favorably to anyone who makes the investment.

Now that's funny - they'll probably go bankrupt.

All of the sudden there was a disturbance in the force... Like millions of voices crying out all at once, and then nothing.

That's quite a change. Would you happen to have a link to the official statement of the change ? Thanks.

Actaully someone at ATP, Inc. I think they bought Higher Power not too long ago.
