You are correct. We added huge numbers of qualified applicants by changing the definition of qualified.

The Dark Knight @ 56 minutes - I'm getting to that point also. I'm more inclined to grab a bag of popcorn and watch the implosion than lend a hand when things go south. Providing improvements in scope and pay may get me looking for my backpack again.

IF that is correct, it will last the majors through May before being exhausted. What do they do then?

If this is your first contract cycle, you will notice improvements for pilots are typically implemented in phases over the length of the contract, while company improvements are day 1. If this isn't your first contract cycle, shame on you for not paying attention. Company improvements are now being done via LOA before we even have a contract, giving them a reason to stall. Call me an @55H01E, but I'm in favor of holding a few new hires hostage to expedite the timeline for a contract that benefits all 13,000 pilots.

Side question: Do probationary pilots get a vote if the PWA goes to memrat?
“In Unity,” right?

Minor detail, but it's conversion to Captain, not completion of OE.

Absolutely. Targeted improvements solving company problems outside of Section 6 isn't how a unified labor group operates.

There's more coming in but the hiring standards have definitely been lowered. We might be seeing the end of the regionals soon. Flying bigger aircraft with less frequency which will require less pilots but provide more high paying jobs. You know, the way it was in the late 80's.

No we dropped the degree requirement because the company wanted more large RJ’s and did not think the potential legal ramifications through.
