That's 200 more wide body jobs, at (or near) the TOP, so everyone on down the list takes a step UP. That's always a good thing, right?

As always, Mr. Number One's view won't change, but good otherwise.

Rumor Alert!
Talked to a friend today who is in the 717 program. He was told that the hiring number was going to be well north of 300 bodies for 2014. Of course no official word but it sounded like it was closer to a 1000 than 300.

I've heard the same, but who's to say it's not just propaganda to keep us appeased during this rough IROP riddled summer?

For everyone with jury duty:
In my home state, hopefully in yours, when they send you jury duty notice, they give you a date that you are obligated. It also says if you cannot do that date, write in the date you can, send it back and they'll make that your jury duty week. Every time I write in Christmas week and they give it to me. When I get the new notice with Chriatmas week, I send that to the company and Walla, no workie on Christmas week. The big bonus is that no lawyer or judge is going to work that week either and you never get called.

If anything I suspect the opposite is true. The company is downplaying hiring and airplane orders are "replacement" because Wall Street hates airline capacity growth. RA is doing the best he can to get our stock price up in time for the next merger.
