I don't know if ALV+15 will be enough to keep up with demand. I guess once we start canceling flights due to lack of pilots then hiring will commence.
I agree Elvis, this summer could be ugly. Is what's really scary is that crew planning or someone said the 88's were actually overstaffed? If in fact the new contract and the ALV15 is the cause of fewer bodies on reserve, thus the ones left have more flying, we might see reserve slip junior again.
Only when flights are cancelled and too many greenslips are going out will the writing be on the wall for hiring.
