You bring up a good point. In recurrent, a couple months ago, we were talking about the iPad program. They were talking about how each plane was going to have 2 of them, but that the CAs was going to be hotwired directly into one of the BUSSES as to be charging automatically. The cost was estimated at $6,000 a plane. Obviously this hasn't happened yet, but if it does it seems pointless to go through with this if you know your not going to be around come 2017. Also the entire fleet getting the leather seat covers is definitely costing money as well. Again why do this for only a few years?

Finally while there may, or may not be GROWTH (ie new planes), but there is serious serious MOVEMENT. I have been here 14 months and have moved up 108 spots. Im less than 200 from an upgrade right now and there have been 350 pilots hired below me. Talk about insane. This fall will be very very interesting. We have been losing between 15-20 or so this summer each month, but after the summer winds down. All I will say is its going to be fun to watch.
