Just wish I had a gut feeling for what the company will do if we send it back to the negotiators...play ball or drag feet and send it to the NMB eventually. I tend to believe Steve Dickson's June 8th remarks about hiring the last quarter of this year if the TA passes, which makes sense to me to gear up for the 717's coming next year. We are still getting a bunch of MD-90's which are replacing the DC-9's , and we will have to hire a boatload of pilots soon. My oldest son who just got out of the Air Force hopes to be one of them. So yeah, I have all seniority levels covered in this decision.
