Good gawd. Some of you just don't see it, damn!
Guys, majors hiring in the next few years IS NOT the saving grace for 9E pilot group. It's simple math, if guys get picked up by a major and our fleet remains the same then yes, there is movement, but if at the same time you slash the fleet in half you got jack squat!! As of now 9E is scheduled to lose airframes, period.
Doesn't matter how you cut it, based on facts and facts alone, there is no way there can be any good movement for 9E as things stand now.
Now, if you wanna go ahead and guess or speculate about the future and the "carrots" that management and union dangle then have at it.
