If we are not increasing total positions company wide, we would need to cut positions from somewhere else. Me thinks that this was them admitting they were adding more positions than pilots. (Well hoping)
I like your reasoning. Lets hope it goes that way (ie hiring). Regarding the MD90/A320 swap, I'm not sure but seem to recall there are 16 MD's based out of SLC to be swapped for a like number of 320's in MSP. Yet it's implied that the 320 category in MSP isn't really reducing due to increased aircraft utilization. Will there in fact be 16 A320's based out of SLC or some other arrangement?
