At any rate, it's interesting to note that this "unanticipated event" that caused them to delay the hiring process, happened sometime between June - when the memo was posted - and October - when the hiring process was forecast to possibly start. What happened in those 3 months that was unanticipated and caused them to change their minds?

Finally, at the time, I don't remember anyone saying the company only planned on hiring 150 pilots based on a model that they would get 300 early retirements.

1.) How do you know this?
2.) If I'm right, why do you think they left this important detail out?

I bet a lot of yes voters might have thought differently if they knew the company was only going to hire 150 pilots at best. Maybe even Bill Lumberg would have toned it down a little.
