Also, there is positive correlation between the Company's bad faith on JV scope and staffing reductions.

Capacity restraint, leveraging synnergies, yielding to LCC's to preserve...yields? At least the new peak hour hump is in March. So once we get past that we're home free for another year.
Ahhhhhhhhhh,
<picture person drinking a nice cold beer on a hot day> that's refreshing......more doom & gloom.
Of course the company couldn't be "behind", and have made a mistake by "not" hiring pilots and are just now putting forth smaller AE's to staff the smaller equipment as they need for summer flying. (Read: So they don't have to cancel domestic trips for lack of crews.

P.S. Continue the "sky is falling, we'll never hire, never get a raise, never make it to the left seat" banter. I prefer to maintain my excitement for the fall when we "do" hire, and for the future of Delta Air Lines and it's pilots.
P.P.S. Bar, when were we going to furlough again?
