Add in the self imposed training onslaught just to "save" a few clicks on the pay scale for a year or so before another self imposed training onslaught just in time for the big retirement wave and it really makes you go hmmmmmmm.

HI and AS wouldn't generate much if any capacity pull down. Not enough to even make a dent in imminent hiring anyway.

Large pieces of AA, USAir and/or JB on the other hand, would represent a golden opportunity to slaughter our seniority list by adding capacity just to dump large portions of it and taking the bulk out of DL pilot's careers.

Either that or there's some serious 4th floor giddiness over potential future cabotage in one form or another.
