Wrong. August '15 hires are holding lines in ORD. The shrinking and stagnation period is over, for now.
We've got issues here, schedules and reserve rules need to be improved, as a start. But it's a lot better now than it was last year. I expect that trend to continue as long as the shortage of pilots pressures management to value the employees they have more.

Hell, I live in DFW and I'm based in ORD. It still isn't great until you sacrifice your personal life for x number of years until you can hold DFW. You can thank AAG for their personal choice regarding the matter.

The time frames you represent are simply present estimates and that is fact.
