Ha ha, that's what I was thinking. With our current rate of shrinkage we could easily have zero movement through 2014. We might hire a couple hundred by then, bumping us up maybe 2% while they move up 20%.
I don't care if SEA has grown, or international seatmiles have gone up. We are not hiring, and that means DAL is finding a way to do the same or more flying with the same or less pilots. Our contract has not changed (much), so this loss of flying while others have gained can only be attributed to codeshare, JV, and scope.
I will not believe the ALPA line "Trust me, this is good for Delta pilots" until I see some results that benefit Delta pilots.
