My guess is no more 74 CA vacancy awards until well into next year and when they do come it will be 7+ years seniority to hold it. Just my guess....not trying to upset anyone.

They had their chance to make this a legit world class airline but greed and Lorenzoitis compelled them to set this course and now we are over open water and out of gas. Time to get your ditching checklist organized.
