Spoke to hire ups, out of 300+ we were to hire only 50 were hired. All else has canx. While they couldn't totally reveal the reasons, they advised possible reasons were the injunction of mesa, another was the reconsideration of Pinnacles contract as well. On top of the obvious of the fuel and capacity reductions. The interesting issue is they do not understand why CA's in JFK are denied trades, drops etc. All the grids should be in the green according to the modules as they do staff with the consideration of sick calls, people quitting, training, instructors taken off line etc.
Frustrating and amazing how this industry changes strategies more times in a month than any other affecting everyone's lives. Been doing this since 91 and never seen such uncertainty and change.
