Sink,

I had the same thoughts. It seems to me they are trying to paint a rosy picture but there is little positive news. He paints it as an urgent need for pilots on the Douglas jets, and we think, "Oh, good, they need pilots.". But when he says "remove the surpluses," he is obviously talking displacements from high paying jets to lower paying jets. Look at that list - nearly all the widebodies have surpluses. So it looks to me like more of the same - backwards movement for everyone through this summer. Not to be a Debbie Downer on Monday morning!
