So that is why you got a new email with that recently.
There were about maybe 50 guys (and gals) there, i would say most were between ages 35-50. not sure experience, the ones i talked to were regional guys and a few part 91/135
the chief pilot in his presentation said all that remains in the negotiations is scheduling, pay, and retirement (I am not an employee so yes, i don't know the full story - just sharing what i was told yesterday) he said he thinks by august it'll be signed - again maybe just pure propaganda. but everyone can be hopeful right?
Wow 50 people? Last year we would have 250 people and the year before that you had to buy a ticket in the first hour of going on sale or you couldn't get one. August is insane on their part but maybe they are finally starting to see the writing on the wall as far as needed to attract quality applicants.
