Dude,
How many airplanes did we have when you got hired? How many now? Any idea on block hours then and now (I don't)? I really don't think that we are shrinking though.
I've been to Shenzen and it is a pit among pits. Even FDX made arrangements so that their guys didn't have to live across the chinese border.
If you are looking for a touch of grey in a silver lining though, say sayonara to those cushy HKG layovers once everything moves to the other side of the river

How will I maintain my status as Mayor of Sticky Fingers and Spicy Fingers in Wan Chai. And yes, I put the IPS sticker up at both places

2 recently, on the way to 3, but that has been to move crews off of retirement fleets and onto growing ones. Better question is how many furloughs have we had. None, even with the herpes engineers coming back. All of us under 60 are pretty much screwed for the next 4 1/2 years, but we're still here.

Well as long as we all pick up open time and accept JA's, the herpes will be stuck in their seats (once the 747 displacements are through). By making us appear fat, the company won't need to add any additional original vacancies that the over 60 crowd will inevitably take, and us junior folks will no longer continue to be pushed back. Then in 3 or 4 years when all of the herpes are where they should be we can start moving again (in the right direction).

Before someone jumps in and suggests that I should quit, these are JUST FACTS.
