Some guys don't realize that the current movement will not continue forever. We hired 4000 in the last four years - in two more years we will probably hire another 2000.

So 6000 guys in a six year span - this will really slow down any upward movement for those that are at the tail end of this movement, even if we still hire steadily for retirements.

It will be interesting to see how many of those guys would like to enable some Pilots to fly up to 100 hrs a month so they can have "flexibility."

It may take a while but when the movement slows more will become aware of the phenomenon referred to as the "tragedy of the commons."
