Five -300s are online, supposedly looking for more. Just ran a new hire class of six, still interviewing though I haven't heard a date on the next class. Captains leaving for all kinds of places, Omni, SWA, Virgin, Spirit, upgrade classes should be kicking off again with the next bid I think.

Typical ALPA uselessness with contract negotiations...just the rah rah messages every week or so to re-inform us that they have gotten nowhere.

Definitely short-staffed. Reserves covering flying and staying busy. Lineholding within two months for sure in EWR, longer for CLE. EWR growing. CLE steady (maybe some growth with Colgan dropping their four lines out there).

Crews are great. The Dash is a beast. Just the typical BS from management.
