There's only about 5 FO seats unfilled in HKG.

Easier to fill with SIBA than hiring a few guys.

Last thing 0 said about new hires was none 'till 2012. Sadly, one of the things he's likely to be right about.

If O is right about 800-1000 overmanned I think it will be much later than 2012 before we start hiring. Of course I think it's psychological warfare for concessions in upcoming contract negotiations.

If we ever needed a 5 plus year contract, this is the time. I never understood ALPAs need for short contracts except it lets guys do stuff other than fly.

I have been in the pool since 2006. I consistently hear 2012 for new hires. I kind of feel like I won the lottery but lost my ticket. O h well I'm patient
