In other "news" Kim Kardashian is filing for divorce 72 days after her 10 million dollar wedding. Wish investing was as certain as the outcomes of ridiculously expensive Hollywood hook ups.

There is a new 22d2 posted for May 12. I know this is not head count but it is a good indicator of what block hours are doing compared to the year before. For May 2011 total pilots required was 10297 and for May 2012 it is 9955. Most of the categories are the similar to the prior year. The biggest change was the DTW 744. CA went fm 224 to 180 and the FO's went from 251 to 190. This bid coming up could be interesting.

And they never did post a bid to replace the 30 (in each seat) 744 Early Outs.
But...won't the 744 be "the Plane" for the upcoming troop withdrawl (MAC Charters) from Iraq? Perhaps they need to adjust their forecast 744 numbers and they will have some replacements on the next AE, due out soon?
We shall see...

IMHO, DAL is just waiting to pounce and when they do it will surprise almost everyone.

Also, it this latest one shows an increase of required pilots by 127 from the Nov 2011 22d2. If you compare the Nov 2011 document vs this current one, there is an increase in the DTW 744 numbers. I am not sure if comparing the Nov to May one is a good indicator however, as I don't know if they would adjust the Nov one for the standard pull down in flying during the fall/winter.
