As far as the FAA allowing any more deliveries, it's my opinion that's why you saw the memo about "getting the a/c more mx touch time, and carrying more spares".

That is not true! Delays are because of NEO engines.

44 pilots have left the Company in 2018 with only 3 of them due to retirements. By my count, 7 CA's left for greener pastures (or possibly an early retirement from the sh!+show). Honestly, this number is lower than I would expect, BUT....combined with the failure to fill classes and plans for significant hiring over coming months, something is going to need to give.

Not to mention the fact that average line values have climbed from 78.07/mo. to 81.77/mo. since January, getting pretty close to the CBA limitation of 85. Imagine how much more leverage we'd have if 38% of our pilots weren't averaging 100+ credit hours per month in 2018! Or the 13% crediting, on average, 130+ in 2018.
