However, the twenty jets for Amazon will arrive (from a pie in the sky source!!) in stages, not all at once, and certainly not all by the end of this year. So, as much as I'd like to see our very qualified FOs get in the Left seat ASAP, it's not gonna happen overnight.

And to add, the ALSO want to expand the 777 and grow the 737 for the -800freighter and VIP Charters. Where are these bodies going to come from?

The bodies won't be coming from anywhere. Management will blame us when they can't staff the operation. They will blame the union and try everything to divide the group, maybe start another certificate to threaten us, anything. I will put nothing past them.

Good point, I guess it's not taking into account planes set aside for reserve and the ones in mx as well. Depends on how many Amazon Prime members REALLY want their yoga balls......

The MBA brain trust in Purchase are just going to their one and only play book, to be fair it worked well for them in a different time and in a very different climate. Those here long enough have been down the road of AABO, AACS and GSS and lived through furloughs and threats of furlough during the Polar/Atlas amalgamation. The stooges in Purchase really think will will fold like a cheap suit to get our hands on a bunch of 767's, send them to FW for all I care. I would rather be a First Officer with a solid contract than a Captain under the POS one they would see me have.

Did the Union know this deal was in the works? If they did then NDA's would have been signed and a component of the SEC regulations and not much could have been done.
