Actually several people from here did but never bothered to post the answers they received. Strange they did not put the info out, isn't it!
"The shift of DCI block hours to the mainline is coming to a end this winter. With the TA it was planned to continue that migration which would have required more pilots. The Skywest E175 order is the start of managements plan B.
The good news is even without the additional block hours hiring should be strong." - Sailingfun on poolie thread
Sailingfun,
My issue is with your post on the poolie thread (pasted above). As has been pointed out, you make what appears to be a passive aggressive attempt to pin the 2016 hiring reduction on the failed TA. If you were referring to the new E190/195 airframes that the TA had in it, I don't think that fleet plan had any affect on reducing 2016 new hire numbers whatsoever. We don't have any Embraer sims on property and there was no timeline announced for fleet entry into service - that service entry could very well have been years down the road. Do you know what the service entry timeline looked like?
