You know, the blood loss from trying to slit my wrist after going 0-4 to one of the sorriest wannabe teams in the SEC has prevented me from writing a smarter question than what I asked.

1700 is the if the rest rules change right? 100 probably needed would be a great start, because if its anything like 2007, 100 will grow to 400 or more. But, is there a number thats being batted around? 100?

But that second post from Hawaii, how legit is the thought that a MOAB would be the determinant of hiring such that if there are a lot of MDs then lets hire to mitigate the cost and staffing issues?

Anotherwords, we hear a mass AE is coming, say December. After its run lets pretend they determine 1200 pilots need to be MD'd especially into the narrowbodies, then what? Hire 300 into the narrowbodies and lessen the number MD'd and live with shortages? Is that plausible?

and fwiw, the blood loss was tremendous
