It's hard to say it's always cyclical. But as long as you have an ATP and 2,500 hrs you have nothing to lose and apply away.

Is the hiring window still open? I just finished the app and questionnaire but wasn't sure if I was too late for the pool.

Books ain't gonna help. I am not being a (fill in the blank). Just honest. Best of luck, just don't worry about the books.

Yep.

Increase in 401k to 12% total.
First 7.5% is 125% matching on pilot's 6% contribution.
Remaining 4.5% is automatic and doesn't require pilot contribution (so if you contribute 0 you still get 4.5%). And, the 4.5% doesn't count toward IRS limits, so it's more like a DCP but within the existing 401k.

Profit sharing formula now based on pure earnings, no algebraic formula based on earnings + longevity (that they capped at 3 years last year).

Won't stop the upcoming(?) card drive, but may reduce some numbers.

I don't think anyone expected this!
