"ABX scenario" do you mean DHL dropping 75% of their flying and all their US domestic freight causing an 80% RIF at ABX in 2009 and parking 100 aircraft? Lets hope not.

That's exactly what I mean. Worst-case scenarios for us are better than that since we're diversified. I'm not saying it can't all go to pot. While there are signs of an economic slowdown, I don't see thee quarters of the airline disappearing anytime soon.

True, diversified in this market may seem to help. Purple is having a few tremors while Brown was smart with their “Better not Bigger” approach it seems. Cost Control is a major factor along with a strong customer base (contracts). Always better than being at the forefront of the public pendulum, granted we’re just a few notches below the snowball at times.

Hey all - I see the TPA base, in fact thats to cover LAL, yes? They put you on a shuttle van or something?

tampa base has no Tampa flying, or Tampa overnights. The old saying is, want overnights in a base, don’t be based there.

Just curious ... under what kind of scenario would a pilot hired today see an upgrade in 3 years? Could it actually happen under the current growth forecast or is there some growth plan that has yet to be announced?

People leave the 737 all the time creating vacancies there.

To add to this comment: Literally just had 3 year upgrades into 737 PDX post-merger. Anyone’s guess if that continues. Personally, my money is no, but 737 CA pay isn’t particularly compelling when compared to widebody FO, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
