Sailing and Dalad,

How do you get a sense of positive OR negative from the memo? The big unknown is how many 7ER F/O's they're going to surplus, and they are admittedly overstaffed in the 320 and 88 in that seat as well, and the DC 9 in both seats.

I don't mind being optimistic, and I in fact am generally optimistic, but how do you accomplish that based on this update? Is a pronouncement on the future based on this text, naysayer or cheerleader, not a faith-based exercise?
