Hopefully the next few AEs prove to be an overall net positive and reverse the trend.

I'd be shocked if Delta hires this year. My guess is new hires in the fall of 2013 or early 2014.
Bottom line is the airline is still shrinking, we are overstaffed and we just voted yes to a contract that requires fewer pilots to staff the airline. Hope I'm wrong and we see new hires this year.

The way I read it was that this upcoming AE is only one of [potentially] several AEs and they are not attempting to replace all RMAs in one swoop due to training issues and early-out withdrawals. (That would be a swift kick to have your award reversed before you even got to training.)
Hopefully the next few AEs prove to be an overall net positive and reverse the trend.

Exactly, I'm thinking this contract added at least another year to our stagnation.

So we can live without those aircraft for a year while having to believe we are in a capacity growth mode.

What do you mean they aren't backfilling all RMA's?

They are not back filling all of the RMAs on this AE due to training constraints caused by Sims being moved. Expect more back filling on following AEs.
