I've heard that number also. On the surface that seems like it would be great for us, but what does that mean for our productivity? I really don't want PBS to build me a schedule worth 65 hours of credit and 12 days off.

Also, I doubt this would factor into staffing for next summer because IF they do get this passed in one form or another, I doubt they will make carriers comply immediatley. I'd bet they would give carriers a couple of years to implement programming changes into scheduling systems and get the staffing numbers where they need to be to comply. Hopefully they need more guys for growth in 2010, a thousand more for the rule changes in 2011, and then alot more from 2012 on when age 65 retirements start happening.
