Probably not if your not one of those 25 LAA pilots that would have your career potentionally hammered by being unnecessarily put further back on the combined list so the arbitrators could "guess" at the number of Letter T pilots that will return or not return.

If you personally were one of those 25 whose career hung in the balance you think you might come to a different conclusion about your question? These arbs aren't going to screw 25 pilots just because some pilots who care only about themselves are becoming impatient.

Isn't the requirement 'by Oct 1st'? So why the concern about any day before then? If a delay helps make it more accurate we should welcome that.

Heard rumors about numbers for next year. What's the skinny?

I don't think he was suggesting the arbs screwing the T guys.

No clue. Havn't seen anything but the rumors - 1000 in 2017.

Do we have the training capacity for 1000?

Will they use CLT in conjunction with DFW?

Yes both bases will be used for training.

Then I dont see how 1000 a year would be hard to accomplish. I also dont think we will hire that much as we continue to shrink

Didn't mean him specifically. But that is what would happen if the arbs guessed because if they got the guess wrong by moving too many to the back of the list some pilots would unecessarily lose seniority.

Typing in a hurry sometime comes across wrong. Sorry if it seemed directed at him. Didn't mean to.
