If the LGA slot swap with Delta goes through, LGA ( and possibley RDU ) could close this summer. DCA could see about 30 flights added.
A few more downgraded captains will be requalified the next few months and a batch of furloughed pilots should be done with training by Feb 11th so that they will be able to bid March schedules.

Not alot of movement..... but movement none the less..............
What is the reason for the hiring? Attrition/Short Staffed? Aircraft utilization? Or is there something in the works? Glad to see some positive news and guys getting back in the left seat.

DENflyer I'm guessing you work at AWAC? Do you commute out of DEN?
