I think the combination of the 717's coming on property along with the retirements kicking in at the end of 2013 will hopefully start the hiring wave. Throw in some bad economic news, pilots staying until 65 and the hiring might not happen until 2014 imo. My guess is we're looking at a solid 1.5 - 2 years of additional stagnation.
