I don't disagree at all, and very happy to be a NB FO here. But do hope the tide will turn and some of the progression seen elsewhere will return to the US.

If 50 new hires/month for the next 12+ years is not an indication of a change of tide, I have no clue what is......

You young guys are gonna have an awesome career.

Agreed. I think we are at a turning point.

Interesting chart from Bombardier's C Series Update. Wonder what the distribution curve looks like for Delta, inclusive of DCI?

I absolutely get the guarded defensive take nothing for granted always vigilant stance with a silver lining of cynicism there, but come on, man. You Shirly can't think we're that stupid?

And then use another PB day to drop it again.:)

Anyone know if this works?

LOL omg. I know people type "LOL" all the time and it basically just means "I find that on some level humerous and wanted to give you a nod of approval" but in that case I literally laughed out loud.

LLOL. I just invented a new internet thing. Feel free to use it, but I deserve credit. And royalties. :cool:

We make about the same but they have the tax advantage which was easily offset by the fact that they are both now divorced with kids. Both went over happily married and that ended quickly.

Do they drive pickup trucks?

I would hope so too, world events, NAI like and foreign ownership will all figure into the scenario.

I invented PDP, the royalties aren't what they're cracked up to be.

Can't wait - the past 25 years have been trying.... I guess it depends on what you call young.
