We are already in a recession, the effects of which will begin to impact all the airlines in a real way soon, retirements at the large airlines hopefully protect jobs, Alaska doesn’t have retirements in any meaningful numbers, If we end up hiring next year it will be a fraction of the numbers floating around out there.
