Man I wish we were just like them.
US Air is hiring. New hires bidding 190 PHL, 737 CLT, PHL and DCA, A-320 CLT, PHL and DCA.
The 737 / 320 in Atlanta is barely held by 5 year guys now. After the march bid it may take more than a decade's seniority to hold a similar position to what US Air new hires are getting off the street. Not that I would trade with them, but it highlights what effect Delta's planned capacity reductions might do to our junior pilots in a merger.
Like Bar said, glad you got yours. For junior guys their perspective might be different than yours.
