Not sure why that is a good thing in this case. It's now a 27 hour 4day hard time trip. I don't care about the credit any way. It's just going against reserve guarantee and I'll never break that this month. The layover at home is so short that I stayed at the airport hotel rather than go home. There are advantages to this situation that I won't go into but with flying time in short supply and guys looking to white slip, I want to follow the contract.

I think ALPA will tell you it isn't a violation of your human rights.
Yeah, I think you are right. But I wanted to check any way.

Looks like there is a new projected retirements list out.

Only 663 retiring over the five year period, 2012-2016, for an average of only 132/year.

Barring an economic recovery, which results in growth, it could be another four or five years of stagnation considering that we have over a 1000 guys out on MIL/LOA/SIC. Obviously, some of the SIC guys might not return, but you would think that the majority of the MIL/LOA guys are going to return fairly shortly and they represent almost 35% of that number.

At least once we hit 2017 and beyond, things should start looking better...

Well - I think it's a very realistic scenario. Some guys are leaving early, but not many.
