I agree with you. Not a hiring boom to say the least and with more 75/76 FO displacements on the way the pain will continue.

SLC chief pilot said they had not heard of any hiring beyond 300.

Or you could look at it like this:

300 new bodies
150 furlough returners
150 new hires
148 retirements between now and 31 Dec 2014

Means the seniority list will grow by 2 pilots. So while technically that is growth... it certainly could be turn the other direction quickly

And then comes my favorite question, a +2 pilots yet supposedly 88 all growth planes arriving right now at a rate of 3/mo through the rest of this year and next. Something doesn't jibe.

We will see more than 300. Probably 500.

But no, the 88 717's are not all growth and the 737-900's aren't all replacement.

I doubt they know, at this moment, how many they will hire.

Unless of course we are about to have something dropped in our lap? How about new WBs and hiring greater than previously mentioned 300... If some JV language is amended to meet today's economic reality?

It's like the a Captain once said of FAs, I swear management takes things away from them and rile them up and then give it back and it feels like a win.

That same tactic is use in POW camps and various types of mental torture. Smart on Delta's and sad all at the same time.

CP are normally there to just respew company rhetoric... Kind of like a cheerleader if you will.... I have heard that the training dept is planning that the 20 per month number will continue indefinitely.
