So tired of trying to find true info on what flts are still on to get home. Starting to get painful and the power hasn't even gone out yet.

Flight ops would like to hire to smooth out the training and lower displacements. Last I heard the powers to be above flight ops are against that plan so I expect no hiring until next fall. The good news is that this was a net positive bid and starting with the next bid we will be staffing for the shift of over 1000 jobs from DCI to the mainline. Those bids will be ongoing for the next 3 years.

Except there are 857 pilots trained as well as we were,available to be hired, and every airline needs about, oh 5,532 outstanding pilots to replace their 5,532 outstanding (old) pilots retiring in the next 17 days.

Or so.

He was out sick for a while, but it was normal sick time (where you continue to bid normally), and then went to SLOA which is the normal progression of things. No lines were bid when he went unqualified and on SLOA.

Suck on that, bigbus. :p

No skin off my nose, the position he's in is junior to me. On the Big Bus the FOs have to be type rated and have a current First Class medical so I can doze in my beautiful bunk. AA just got his medical back. He didn't have one for nearly a year and hadn't flown a trip since mid-2011 until this month. My grip is that somebody at the company allowed him to keep bidding when normal people would have been kicked out of the system onto disability. He got a whole bunch of trip drops that should have been sick leave. Favoritism?

Wonder if the guys making that decision are the same type as those that testified against my bunk in the arbitration? It sucks that our own are working against us. Hope they have fun when they're flying.
