"I think he means that there would be pilots coming along with the airframes."
Still leaves us with the dilemna of how we will staff the ones we already bought. At a 10-1 crew ratio, the additional MDs alone require 300 new crew members. Add in the retirees and the -400s that are coming and we need roughly 400 pilots by the end of 07. Another possibility is that the company just doesn't want to let anyone (especially us) know their plans.

In any case, welcome aboard! I think you'll enjoy the job.

Still hoping for the Sept class,
