No, they didn't say that either. I know because they said this:
...and with a surplus of pilots at a system level we have to utilize our existing pilot staffing. As a result, we must displace now in order to staff the hours that Network has given us
So, network gave a need for
less hours going forward at a time when we have a
system level surplus, operating with our new contract that
gave back productivity to fund our COLA pay raises. That's why management won't approve hiring. No mystery there.
