Hey Contrail-- my intention wasnt to be vague but only address the item being discussed about hiring off the street at cal by 2012 end.

im calling BS on that

people in groundschool stated that the hiring peopl ehave stated that there will be no hiring before summer 2012 and that there will be hiring off the street by end 2012-- i say how can that be? so in four months they are going to hire a TON? going thru the remaining 800ish furloughees , the miul guys returning ( if they want to) and the other guys that have already bypassed ( if they want to come back)

the numbers just dont add up.

something is brewing however with the special mec meeting and the end of the year with certain items of TPA expiring and all the gossip of 737 in ord and den and airbi in IAH and the parking of up to 15 757s

so im just thinking from numerical logic-- i just dont see it--- and no i dont see a jcba until at least after summer 2012 and if not by then prob not until 2013---- ual will never be allowed to strike period so no leverage there-- onyl leverage we have is to cost the company $ thru cxed flights, lengthy delays, and other methods of CHAOS------ cal captains picking up open time sure as balls aint helping either.
