Sorry for those on the outside wanting in.
BS. They have plans to hire without a doubt. They have no idea what all of the retirement-eligible pilots plan on doing...and there are a lot. They would have to hire given the current system form.
They don't have much of an idea what will happen with this contract in the way of more efficiency or less.
What about the "one level of safety"? How will that impact manning should cargo pilots be treated the same as the passenger world?
They definitely have "plans", it's just when/if they need to implement them.
When I hear "no plans to XXX for XXX amount of time" I chuckle.
