The number would stay the same. And here I thought I had figured it all out.
Hmmm. Definitely like the total furlough protection and the additional captain slots if it came to it.

The BUFF rules for longevity though, by far.

Just my idea of what a possible outcome could be with all of this talk of LCC getting rid of the 190's, CPS hiring etc. Just thinking out loud. Its like I scared some of ya

Oh and just to add fuel to the fire, with this Frontier rumor, we then could get 10 of their 319's. Like I said, I am just looking at all of these rumors and connecting the dots.

I'm not sure where this talk of Compass hiring has come from. They have done a bit of hiring lately, but it's mainly been to (finally!) get us properly staffed so we don't have to keep giving flying back to mainline...I heard Momma D wasn't too pleased the fourth or fifth time that happened. So far as hiring instructors is concerned, my understanding is that it was to replace those who weren't coming to Minneapolis from Montreal.
On the other hand, I'm a peon who tries to avoid spending too much time in the crew room, so others' information could be much more accurate.
