I can verify that it's not blowing smoke or VAPA propoganda. I heard directly from the chief pilot's mouth last week that leaves for pilots will be offered in Q1 2013.

However, I do not believe it's the beginning of the end. I think it's a temporary overstaffing situation that every airline encounters at some point. Offering leaves due to overstaffing does not equate to the beginning of the end. I'm no kool-aid drinker by any stretch of the imagination, but I do think we will be ok company wise. I think they are doing things to strengthen the balance sheet and get this ship sailing in the right direction.
