Training 1800 guys at once? You've got to be kidding.

All the furloughees were back a while ago. We have been hiring off the street, although I can't understand why someone would come to this trainwreck right now.

We will see what happens. We have our lawyers in place and our group is set to monitor USAPA's actions as they attempt to represent two groups that are polar opposites.

The biggest test will be what Parker does with the seniority list. He already accepted it, it is binding from the NMB and is in place. Fences are probably going to go up which will lead to a DFR lawsuit either way.

The West pilots opened Section 6 negotiations a month ago, negotiations are to take place in a week. USAPA has a duty to continue those negotiations as well. We have an agreement in place with the company to fly the A330, and I just got a pay raise to fly to Hawaii as part of that LOA. Which is nice because that's all I do next month. (not by choice). So you can see that the West is in no hurry to do anything other than watch USAPA implode.
