Yes.

Is it still a good time to get hired with the planned hiring or has the window of opportunity passed?

Still a great time to get hired and be a very senior FO. A CA seat would come thru either attrition and/or growth. To my knowledge, NWA can still operate 18 more 76 seat a/c. It's going to be either XJ or CPS.

What is the upgrade outlook at this point?

See above.

Is it easy to adjust your schedule? i.e. drop trips, trade trips, etc.

Right now, all this is done manually but hopefully soon, an automated process will come online similar to JetBlue's which I hear is quite good.

Are the lines productive?

That is the goal. Right now, if you live in domicile, the lines are pretty good. Contractually, the company must try to build 85-93 (something like that) hour hard lines.

How many a/c do they anticipate taking delivery of in 2008?

27

Will they interview someone with 121 experience but short of the 1000multi req by 300-400 hours?
