All the contract improvements we can think up won't mean squat unless there is visible movement in the senority list. They can extend the SSP to new hires all they want, but as long as the hiring is to stop the bleeding from the bottom it will never matter and I think the new hires will be smart enough to ask questions before they accept a position. Once they learn they have to be a CA for a year and that there are little to no upgrades then common sense will tell them that the SSP is worthless. I think we will have to show movement before anyone decides to come here or the firm announcement of keeping air frames needs to be made. I'm surprised the status-quo here has attracted anyone at all. Knowing what I know now, the only thing that would get me to come here (with the present status of our airline) over Compass would be a Delta senority number, which we all know won't happen. How they expect to hire with the most relevant public announcement being an 81 plane fleet is beyond me. The fact that they want to hire 400 tells me they have other plans in the works, but aren't going to make them public.

It doesn't matter how many people accept the job offer if they don't show up to class.
