That was my point.
If DALPA had data to refute Dickson's claims, as you suggest, they kept it to themselves.
I guess I don't get your point on hiring. It was put out by the company many times why they did not hire in the winter of 13. The biggest was a company freeze on hiring because senior management made a decision that showing a first quarter profit was more important long term financially then short term staffing. They never planned on hiring more then 150 pilots that winter anyway and much of it was made up by mil and furlough guys returning. We have easily exceeded the number of pilots predicted to be hired as a result of contract 2012.
Dixon also never promised hiring right after the contract. His actual statement said that we might begin the hiring process in late 2012. It takes several months to get the hiring process set up.
Still don't get what this has to do with aircraft deliveries. The aircraft showed up when and as promised.
