Memo from Steve Dickson, with good sounding words. This makes me optimistic:

"As I told the pilots in the lounge today, these are growth aircraft and they will increase our pilot staffing needs over the next several years. Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, we expect to post an Advance Entitlement bid this week that will contain new narrowbody captain positions and we'll continue to post a series of small AEs for the foreseeable future as we take deliveries of the 717 and 737-900."

Let's hear some guesses/predictions on what will be on the AE for numbers, both for ER B reductions and for vacancies?
