Hulas is currently about as far out of the picture as he can be, (he seems to have bought a nice $7m house down in florida)...apparently his daughter has some interest in running the company, so she'll probably be the next Hula's successor.

King, it's no surprise that TSA can't attract pilots, as it's not an attractive airline. I was born and raised in STL, and this airline was a niche' for me b4 and after the furloughs, as living in base (at the folks place) makes first year FO pay more than bearable, and when i start commuting from MCI it'll still be a "drive" away @ worst. If i wasn't from the area, i wouldn't have even thought of applying here, especially with the current state of the industry...of course, when i got on, the industry wasn't "quite" where it is now...TSA was getting close though.
