Exactly the point. By the time ANY airframes start moving, this will be a much different industry and company. Big changes are coming, good and bad.

Why would they care about everyone getting to 1500 hours if they were going to furlough all those junior FO's? For the rest that qualify, ya they need to get everyone legal. Still not hearing the level of standards at other companies that we're starting to implement. Guys are getting told to call XJT HR back when they get to 1000 hours while taking jobs at Piedmont (apparently PDT is not concerned about 2013?).
