Two more -8s coming this year (one already on property I believe). Several new 767s arriving this year (can't remember the actual number off the top of my head). Retirements ramping up for the foreseeable future. Maybe technically a realignment bid, but the sky isn't falling. I don't think hiring is out of the question late this year or early next. Upgrades will happen, the seniority list won't stagnate. This isn't 2010. I know you didn't suggest that it is, but I feel like we have a lot of overly negative in our group who are convinced the storm clouds are rolling in. I'd say the immediate forecast is partly sunny & anybody who claims to know the long range trend is purely guessing.
