- Current plan is gain 19 ERs in 2016, one-for-one replacing -400s ... until they decide to keep the 400s longer. So, neutral in 2016 on jets, but growing in 2017
- 130+ new hires in 2016, but that's what that said for 2015 until they upped it to 200

The point would be to have a beer on the company dime and hang out with some of the folks that you will soon be flying with. They do quarterly socials in each base. These company socials are usually better attended than ALPA council meetings - although the beer is just as free at both events.
The company knows it will loose about 20% of the guys in the pool. This is just one small way that they are attempting to keep you engaged and in the pool until they give you a class date.

Looking for a Seattle crashpad if anyone knows of anything. Coming back after a short time on leave. 28 year old, male, married and kids. Pay on time and pretty quiet. Would be a line holder after training gets finished so hopefully won't be there much after the first month.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Usually the same crowd of management wanna-be desperados at these events.....any wonder why we have a contract that is 15 years behind the times...telling of the pilot group as a whole....they start training "yes" voters before they have a seniority number.....

I think more and more of the new hires have roughed it through the regional world for a while.. I think such pilots would not be so quick to say yes. I can say there are a lot of the "no voter" types from where I came from. Maybe there will be just enough no's come 2018.. Or will there be a TA sooner?
