Even with the increased productivity at the majors post 9/11 and the negative impact 9/11 had on the industry pilot manning at the majors(DL/UA/AA/SW/US/JB/AT/AK) is up for the last 10 yrs.

No one is forecasting a reduction in pilot manning needs for the next 10 yrs. Factor in mandatory retirements over the next 10 yrs and you have the foundation for a tremendous amount of movement.
I thought there was an uproar over the new DL TA about reducing DL manning. I am trying to find out what is truly going on, that's why I asked.
