All of the FO's that will be hired over the first 5-6 months will be making between $180-$80/hour.

There is no way the company would make it thru the summer without massive cancellations costing millions of dollars. The company has little to gain and an incredible amount to loose. Look what happened to Americans share price when pilots retired in unexpected numbers.
