Pretty much, WN, AA, B6, DL, UA have all had ups and downs since 3/20. Now it's AS's turn in the barrel. We'll see if they can get this right or not.

Just wait until they have to fight or settle the lawsuit that was filed on behalf of now former flight attendants Marli Brown and Lacey Smith.

DL and UA reportedly have reached tentative agreements with their pilots, what's taking AS so long?

I found some interesting data from BTS website, the 3rd column refers to number of full-time employees, and the 4th column refers to number of part-time employees. April 2022 is not available yet.
For anyone interested in those data, please visit:

I was told by a Capt. and family friend, that he knew seven other pilots, who resigned/retired over the vaccine requirements. He and his FA wife had a religious exemption.

Hello, its mid 2022 and the vaccine requirement is old non-news. The pilot shortage has nothing to do with vaccine requirements and never did. Time to move on!
