This sounds reasonable, the new TA should increase hiring allowing this to happen.

EDIT

I answered my own question...FOU has some of this info in it and more.

180 will have went via the SSP this year, with 128 left to go, 26 left to potentially interview and 6 that already have interviews. Let's say 17 get CJOs, that's 145 left to go, the trend has been 15 a month so 9 months from Aug 1 is May 1. All should be gone by May 1. Does my answer to my own question make sense?

I guess the fear tactic of AA & DL using "Comair" is working.

Grow some balls people, different day and age.

They AA, DL, UA created a monster in our industry. 1st age 60 rule extension, a drastic change occurred in 2009 with the Colgan Air / United Express accident, and 2013/2014 with the 1500hr rule implementation.

Some of y'all need to take your thongs off and let your manhood dangle once in a while to remind yourself your not a little ..... boy. Put your big boy pants on, tighten your damn belt buckle & strap on your boots.

The only reason we are getting paid better is because of our demand. We may have leverage but you don’t want to get there to quick. When everyone one else is matching our pay and incentives are more, D will come back to the table and ask our union what can be done to compete. It has to be their idea. But at the end of the day you have to vote what you think is right. Just remember as an FO, we used to make $14-20 per hour, on reserve for 3-6 years and no upgrade or movement, downgrades, concessions in bankruptcy. Now a FO will be making $50/hr with 20k bonus and upgrade as soon as time allows. These improvements are very good and should not be taken lightly. Just remember where you and others came from. We are in record breaking times. A lot to be thankful for.
