Then again, they were also saying that the company were looking for concessions before they even proposed them, so you never know!
Whenever the emails go out looking for people wanting to be Ground Instructors, CRM instructors and Flight Instructors then something gets announced within a couple of weeks.
The thing is that even a 1:1 swap of Ejets for 145's will have no effect whatsoever on any of us (you think a $2/hour pay bump really makes a difference?, wouldn't make me want to go through the hassle of training on a new type). So who cares really if we're getting new planes.
