You know, I almost hate to say it...but it might be time for me to send in a card......

Very disappointed in my unions actions.

Never heard hiring in 2012, did hear gearing up for hiring late 2012 with hiring starting late 1st quarter 2013.

Oh I know. I want to poke because some said the we could begin hiring process as early as as the last quarter of the year as, see, the 717s will require us to hire this year. All growth! All growth!

I think the decision to release or not release the numbers and to what detail, would need to come from the MEC and they do not meet until August.

Personally, I don't see this as time critical and as I understand it, they have only been briefed on the base percentages and nothing else. The rest of the brief would come at the August meeting.

Of course if the chairman decided to publish the numbers without direction and it happened to make certain reps look bad, there would be an outcry by the usual suspects trashing him.

The beauty of this board is that you certainly can have it both ways.

Me too. But go look at the MRJ thread, we evidently just don't get it.

Do you see a major difference between Pinnacle 2012 and Comair 2007? We know how that one turned out, and "windfall" does not describe what Delta did with Comair.
