I thought I read somewhere that they were going to try to run 60 upgrades in the first quarter of 2008. I'm not sure how likely that is though. But I also don't see much of a choice. On the other hand, there are plenty of captains sitting on reserve in JFK as well. So it's hard to tell if we are really "short" any pilots at all.
