PM'd boring details of my life. Santini was filmed when I was in High Skool - a lot of my classmates and my HS were in that film as well as a great deal of KNBC. Gotta love the F4 "sound of freedom".

Johnso, I agree. we could fly our jets more, thus requiring more pilots.
Unfortunately we are currently reducing capacity somewhere around 4% YOY.
Alaska otoh is adding jets, growing the fleet nearly 20% in the next 4 years, increasing capacity 8% YOY. That growth includes parked 737-400s.
At Delta we have been adding MD90, but we've been parking DC-9s. The MD90 can carry a heck of a lot more pax then even the biggest 9. With reduced capacity that means fewer pilots required, pilot neutral for modest capacity growth...
As announced, our big 737-900 order is also net zero for the fleet count.
Some say, we might not park all of the 757, or that the mythical 717 will be added to the fleet. All we know is that those are rumors and the fact the Delta carrier adding jets and pilots is called the Eskimo.
Cheers
George

I was living in Beaufort, SC when they filmed "Forrest Gump," and "Prince of Tides." While the filmies can be a PITA, (I gotta put up with them now in ILM,) they do pump a lot of money into the local economy.
In the closing scene in "PoT," where they do the aerial pan of the bridge from Port Royal over to Frogmore, you can just see the roof of my house by the foot of the bridge.
