Actually, I have June 2012 numbers.
June 2012: 4808 Captains with 717 jets
April 2013: 4768 Captains (-40 loss) with 719 jets
April 2014: 4927 Captains (+159 over 2013, +119 over 2012) with 740 jets*
*I think the net is 740 after the DC9s left and 717s to date are added

I believe the actual block hours are up about 2 percent which should equal about 100 captains. The union put out that the contract changes would cause a net loss of 100 to 150 jobs or 50 to 75 captains. That number was stated here over and over again as total BS. Some said we lost thousands of jobs. The terms massive and huge job losses were posted over and over again. We should still be furloughing if that was true.

Gotcha. That makes sense. At that point the 88s would be 30 years old, a replacement would be needed unless we find some used cheap stuff....

More data out on the USAIR accident in Philly. May be some interesting lessons learned on the Airbus flight control logic. Close up pics I saw showed both engines destroyed with nacelles ground down to the engines. Nose gear destroyed and fuselage wrinkled. Severe tail strike on aft fuselage. Looks like aircraft is a strike. Must have been a wild ride to get the nose gear, tail and both engines with the main gear remaining intact.

I scoff the Scheduling Alert 14-04 that came out today.
If I have two X Days and I want to move one I can't because the computer doesn't think we have at least 30 hours off.
One X day = 24 hours
Plus (+)
The 12 hours from the first day of work that they can't call me for.
= A minimum of 36 hours.
What am I not getting?

Of course, under the document we all thought was a contract, you could have checked your schedule the last non-fly day any time after 1500.
Which brings me back to my greatest source of recent irritation. (I need some Gold Bond I guess) --> DALPA is allowing the pilot group to think that Steve Dickson's memo is the new contract.
Our union is failing in its most fundamental duty. To defend our contract. This situation has gone on way too long. The MEC should be embarrassed and ashamed. Either start raising hell and file a grievance or just make it official --> management can re-write our contract any time they want and DALPA will do nothing about it.
edit: oops. I see sailingfun already answered the 30 hour rest question.

Guys would game that to the max. I can see ways to insure you were never available for a trip longer then 2 days.
