We Lost United

[Jolly]

Local airport is served by commuter lines. American, Delta and United all commuter lines here. United says they no longer have enough aircrew to service the flights here. American is having to cut a few flights, same reason, but expects a full schedule to be back in place by August. Delta will continue service as usual.The

I understand smaller markets like mine are seeing this happen around the country.

Is this due to people being fired or quitting due to vaccine mandates? Or is it because aircrew have found other jobs?

On the bright side, Delta has better planes.

The training is expensive and difficult.

The starting pay and schedules are terrible, although there has been improvement over the last several years.

Aren't the commuter lines where a lot of aircrew get their start?

Yes, most of the guys I worked with that went to airlines started with the commuters.
