Also, SD said we were going to start hiring right away. Didn't happen for what, about a year?
Factually the ER was sold as the largest manning offset. Factually less the a third of those "predicted" to take the offer actually did.

ER programs have zero effect on required manning.

This from the SD weekly update:
"Pilot Uniform Vendor
Flight Operations will be screening vendors to provide new uniforms to pilots by 2016."
Is this just to find new vendors or is there a pilot uniform change in the works?

Hopefully the designer is not a "hat guy"....

I still see mom jeans, tucked in t-shirts, braided belts, and white New Balance shoes on a regular basis. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here....

Three separate transactions.

You're a bright guy and your contract knowledge has been very solid. However, could you clarify your use of the term "in company history?"
Additionally, the fleet numbers have only recently surpassed the post merger fleet numbers by a handful of airplanes. We contracted then re-expanded with small gauge jets. Is 2014 really a "growth" year?
Hiring was for retiring pilot replacement primarily and growth secondarily.
Concessions should be brought up...always. Also, the timing of our contract and the timing of the JV grievance being coincident only makes me think DALPA will be conceding (concessions again) top end scope.
I can't help it, I try, but can't trust DALPA until I see the TA. I hope like heck I'm not disappointed again.
