Thanks George. I found it and the downward trend continues. The last report showed 10,491 pilots and this one shows 10,446.

Three questions: 1. If regional flying YOY is decreasing, why then did we bother allowing more jumbo RJs in exchange for 717s and fewer CRJ-200s if they were going to go away anyways? We haven't gotten any 717s yet, so no new super premium regional jets are allowed, so no reason to drop 50 seaters unless they were not wanted anyways and/or we could live without them anyways, right? 2. DCI decreasing, what about jumbo RJs, did they decrease? Did they break that out? 3. Related to question 3, if for some reason they're cutting or reducing jumbo RJ use... is that a bad sign for our management team to purchase expensive new RJs and then not use them while turning around and ordering 70 more in December 2012 ?

Wrong again, we never had 156 737-200's. We had I believe 54-56.

Based on what is being communicated now, it sounds like backpeddling for hiring even in 2014.

Any chance of an advanced copy? I'll sign a non disclosure. :D

If we were to swap spit, I mean stock, with Alaska, I am sure the overlap would be eliminated immediately and the cancellation of other codeshares with Alaska would reduce the transfer of revenue.

The whole "no hiring" thing from the CR newsletter sure sounds like they've accidentally broken the code on a coming merger. Can't imagine why we'd delay hiring pilots with the retirements coming up, and staff with inefficient and costly displacements, followed by reinstatements, "We've received clarity" is more like "shut up and do what we tell you" from marketing. And despite all this, our capacity is flat, our routes are unchanged, hubs the same, it's not like there's a whole lot of crazy going on at Delta Air Lines. Make ready the boarding party!

It's not just pay, but also growth and the ability to upgrade. LGBP is fine as long as I've got mine and don't think I'm going any further.

Those are also possibilities. Seems like we find endless ways to reduce the need for Delta pilot jobs. We good at that.
The Japanese government wants their airline industry back and our hub is taking serious collateral damage from the systematic devaluation of the Yen.* So the fall back is Seattle. Delta's got a problem at our non hub in Seattle. Alaska's got us by the short hairs there. * Japan's monetary policy is a new experiment. |

If you look at the latest letter from crew planning they list the block hour reductions.

It shows that the new contract has had little to no impact on staffing.

The block hour reductions were higher then what they had planned.
Also, if you're going to post, would you please read a book on how to use the word "then" versus "than"? It's just one of your many misuses of the English language, but this one happens nearly all the time with you. Fix it.
