Only 800 to go. I think when they close down DFW this year (2017) and then announce that they are closing EWR in the next year, I think the number will drop very quickly.
Like I have said before, I don't know why we have any FO's left in EWR right now anyway. Commutair is giving a very nice bonus and also upgrading like crazy (upgrading people in the new hire classes). They are moving the 145's into EWR at the start of 2017.
With the AA owned offering more money the first year (58,000) than what I made the last couple of years as a 9 year FO at XJT, I am not sure why the IAH or ORD FO's are still at XJT either.
I think more guys will leave the bottom of the list than those that go to UA on the CPP at the top of the list for the next year.
