What baffles me is if we are keepingn airplanes we have now and getting additional airplanes, shouldn't the company be running new hire classes? I've been moving up about 20 a month for quite a while

If the rumor is true, and we are getting more airframes, hiring now would be a proactive move. I have never seen, nor heard of, a time when the company was proactive for staffing. We will probably announce a class beginning the day we need the pilots on line.

If we've heard the rumor we know it's not true.

If we get new airframes, it's gonna come with a price, as in more 200s will be parked sooner than later.

We are always overstaffed in the Fall. Plus there *could possibly* be furloughs from an... ahem... "underperforming" part of the company to fill the seats on the other side.

We've never re-numbered aircraft before though when they get swapped around. Even all the 717s still have -AT tails afaik. I wonder if this could have something to do with the 30 CRJ900s Delta has options for? Assuming that deal is still in play of course..

The 820-830 series are cycled out, and the next stop for them in Kingman. After that, STL to be filled with a refreshing beverage.

Actually, I speculate the airframes you get from 9E will be the 200s Endeavor has fully refurbished the interiors of. Rumors circulating here of accelerated parking of the remaining 200 fleet since Delta's attempts to staff this place have failed miserably (as if we didn't see that coming). DAL still needs 50 seat feed in the short term to keep with their current planned flying. Moving the youngest 200s to ASA makes sense...you guys may actually be able to staff them especially if the UAL flying starts shrinking. Again, purely speculative on my part, but it all makes sense. As for the 30 900s, who knows what DALs plan is for those right now aside from the big wigs in ATL.

Maybe you are referencing our "underperforming" on taking pay cuts for the same management that signed these underperforming CBA's. It's scary/sad that people like CA tony are in leadership positions on the ASA side. The pilots tony represents should be embarrassed. ASA guys you need to get these jokers out of office. Get involved and stop letting the crazies run your union.
