That would be a great dream. I was on the major board and read an interesting thread about Delta, as of now, planning to hire in the fall. They won't be hiring hand over fist, but hiring none the less. They are bringing on several new 777's.

I also read a stat about AA and the age 65 rule. Right now, about 50% of their pilots are staying past 60. That could decrease based on their retirement package though. If nothing else, their will be spots all around that have to be filled due to attrition. That should filter down to the regionals.

I was also told by an RAH guy that Bedford wrote in a company email that legacy carriers are profitbale at $100 oil. If we can get the price of oil to pop, maybe the good times will roll back in sooner than thought.

There's my semi-optimistic thought for the night.
