I wasn't even close. But this should be good news. And, it has nothing to do with our resolve on a contract.

The size of this posting will create f/o vacancies across the fleet, and this will allow hiring to accelerate. Instead of waiting to hire due to the lack of 757 training slots, they can hire right away for Airbus and MD unfilled positions.

Hopefully enough 75 FO bid wide body FO so they have to pay a lot of passover when they train new hires directly in to the MD and the bus.

"Will I be able to hold XYZ weekends/double DHs/PM O&Bs, blah, blah, blah....."

If we put that thought and effort into not picking up open time or flying the scheduled DH for ONE FRIGGING MONTH, we'd have a contract signed.

This is why our management has no respect for us. We do it to ourselves. I don't blame them for dragging their feet. I'd do the same thing if I were them.
Well said.

skeeb, between this post and the OP on the "Jenkins" thread I'm thinking you really might find some benefit in using more punctuation and less Jack Daniels.

They kind of remind me of the emails we used to get from "0" when he was our chief pilot.

If he starts his next post off with "May I mambo dogface to the banana patch?", I think I might know the source of the problem.

Thanks for the YouTube link. I still have the 8-track, but it's hard to listen to anymore.
