I still see displacements and backwards movement in the junior guys' futures for the next couple years. It's good news. We just haven't had good news in so long that this seems better than it really is.
It is good there is some hiring/recalling coming. With that said, if your union...be it ALPA, DPA, Jimmy Hoffa and the boys, etc, ever suggests giving more productivity for airplanes, money, bigger lockers, or anything else......just say HELL NO! We need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot and get our careers back on track.
