My point is, about every 10 years or so, another Black Swan shows up. We are overdue for the next one.
Feel free to speculate what that swan is going to look like, here, I'll start:
1. Emirates gets more access to our major cites and/or Cabotage gets approved.

I believe you are correct, they stopped hiring not long after we signed C2K in May, the contract that got rid of reserve pilots being able to bid move ups, along with many other concessions...

BTW, your -X1 formula isn't that far off. 2011's black swan was an economically related onset of (according to some) dramatic overstaffing after just having hired in 07, 08 and 10. So hiring did indeed stop in a year ending with a 1. So hopefully that's at least 7 more years to go.

It sure did. Hopefully they open the flood gates a little wider! On the optimistic side, although they are saying 30/month it sure seems like they are offering coe's in preparation for more.

Where did you get that info? So are they not planning on backfilling for Compass?
