If we hire it's not for the block plan as released. A new jet announcement that we would take delivery of in short order or the 757's stating would cha ge the 2013 block plan and possibly necessitate hiring.

With Flt ops announcing no AE until the end of the year it would be hard to hire or recall those on bypass until another AE was posted unless all pilots were going to the dc9

It does make more sense to hire than to displace. I assume you would see an AE prior to hiring.
