Who is being accused of not providing mandatory training minimums in the press release?

It's a bit rich to say others are hiring pilots with only 250 hours, whereas NWAL has done exactly that for many years.

Let's hope things get better quickly for Northwestern. Fundamentally a good company with good people, and vital to the economy of Fort Smith.

I’d like to know where these airlines giving extravagant offers and “writing an open check” are that they claim?
Let me translate “for years we could take advantage of pilots by paying them shitty because they didn’t have enough experience to work anywhere else

I don't think that is an accurate statement about the pay at NWAL. It certainly isn't "shitty", and an awful lot of folks have gotten a good start there.

You’re not honouring the expected consensus AvCan narrative.

Northern airlines hold a special appeal for some pilots, he said, which can help with recruitment.
Interesting interpretation of "special".
