Now they offer even MORE positions that won't even train until LATER in the fall that they will need to displace before they even hit the line? Definitely not buying what you're selling.
There are lots of guys moving off the top of the ER categories into NB CA seats and to "super premium WB" FO seats that are vacated by CA upgrades, and that schedule is going to continue to require CA's at the rate of 5.5 aircraft per month (at least 25 CA's per month) for the next two years.... NOT accounting for the additional 5 A330's coming in 2015 and the 5 A330's/10 A321's in 2016.
Crew planning is always going to take a more conservative public stance so they don't have to backtrack on estimates that get construed as promises.
Keep being a Debbie Downer though, it's good for your soul.
I'm nothing close to a Debbie Downer; just passing on what I was told. If you don't want to believe the words that came out of the mouth of SD and our network guy, fine. I'm just telling you what I was told. You can ask anyone who was in ATL on Profit Sharing day if you don't want to believe me. I'm fine with bouncing back and forth from ER to 73N for now, but that may not be ok with everybody.
We can chat again late fall and see how it turns out. Cheers.
