Thanks Oberon. That's kind of what I was thinking. $$$$ drives the world and the bean counters won't officially approve long term hiring. I'd think it is way too hard to budget something like that.
From what I'm reading on these forums there should be some good recoveries on the contract concessions at all the airlines. However, does that have an effect on hiring forcasts or are they separate processes?
