I hope it peaks now. Hopefully next months total is 990 and 980 after that. I hope the billion open time emails a day keep coming like spam. If they want to expand they'd better change it now because they're struggling to stay where they're at. My hopes are that the attrition brings them to the table early, but I doubt that'll happen...
We do know this... These majors are going to have to hire for the next 10 years when you look at the average age of their pilots so I'm not too worried about it subsiding for negotiations next fall.
