Btw, the new software on the maddogs actually helped us increase our block time. Agent was so gung ho we closed the door 10 prior. Ground crew shut all cargo doors 7 prior. We couldn't push till 5 prior but we were told to release brakes 7 prior to move a stuck chock. We were officially out at 7 prior. Of course our latency beacon didn't turn on till 1 prior when we were imminently pushing!! . I may end up getting paid more with the new acars software.
The "stuck chock" concept is one memo away from never existing again. As soon as the hassle/threat of latency equals or exceeds the hassle/threat for D+ there will be no more "stuck chocks" and if there are they just won't be unstuck until zero latency. This whole thing is about reducing pilot headcount. Period.

That doesn't add up either though. Even if hiring was right around the corner, what possible circumstance would trigger any kind of formal employment querry from DL for a candidate(s) that doesn't even have an interview scheduled, much less a conditional job offer?

I say myth: busted on this one.

If'n we just bought 6 more that could be here ASAP, maybe training may be happening quicker than the Boys of Summer planned. Hhmmmmmm.....
I read somewhere (trim tab, some other memo, whatever) that some 717 training for April was already on a few people's lines. If so that's pretty interesting seeing as the training/conversion list isn't even out for anyone else on any equipment yet and likely won't be for another week or two.
