That's a good question for sure. I think there is no doubt that guys are picking up a lot more open time now that the pay rates make open time much more appealing. Plus, with the contract settled, there's no shame in snagging open time trips.

How long will it last? I imagine a year or so? From what I can tell, this is the reason for the slowdown in hiring.

Interestingly, I ran into a training dept guy yesterday and he showed we the current fleet growth and hiring projections. New aircraft deliveries are running about 8 weeks behind schedule due to CFM production delays, but we are still projecting to add a net 17 airframes in 2019 and hire over 300 pilots.
