Is there too many pilots in the system or just too many on specific equipment?

Hiring Factors:

- approximately 120 anticipated pilot retirements during FY15

- 800-ish have 25+ yrs, and 60+. New CBA could accelerate retirements.

- Wildcards: Cargo cutout removed, Belly freight restrictions added, World economy changes

I get what you mean, but the difference now, from those 20 years you are referring to, is that there was NOT an established Europe base in place at that time.

Unrelated question. Does anyone know how to get to the page in vips that lists the specific aircraft configurations by tail number?

When I pull up the HTML version of the CBA on PFC, when I click on section 24C (Bid Award Procedure) it logs me out. It didn't earlier today. Other Links such as 24A, 24B, and 24D work…

I'm not a conspiracy theorist…but now I'll have to scan through thte pdf version without the benefit of the "Hot links"….wonder why that is.
