SD lost a little credibility, but the bottom line is that hiring is a by-product of advancement ONLY after any surplusses have been absorbed. We can't feel it when a new pilot is hired, only when we move forward or backwards. We're inching forward after a long post-merger slide. We're hungry for more, and more seems to be on its' way. Let's believe it's here when more actually shows up.
I'm not disagreeing with that. But at what point do we stop blaming management, & start blaming ourselves? Even if it's only partial blame.
