Small classes. I wonder if they all will be that small. If that's the case, it's going to be a while . Hopefully they get bigger.

I'm cautiously optimistic.
You're more optimistic than I am on contract 2.0 by 2025. I'm thinking contract 1.0 doesn't happen until 2016 at the earliest, more likely 2017. 5 year duration, they MIGHT start early opening in 2021, but drag their feet. 2025 might be the first year of contract 2.0.

Then again I'm jaded as my last airline was in contract negotiations for around 7 years while we were flying on a deal signed in 1999....

Hoping we're closer to your timeline than mine.

Well, in almost 7 years here, I can say the only two guys I won't fly with again, weren't military. They were from USAir.

Most of our mil specs are top notch dudes. Haven't found any that I can't drink with yet.

Any idea what the base break down was for the 7/16 & 8/27 classes?

Which airlines are "not replacing" or are removing their in-seat entertainment? JetBlue guys heard any rumblings about this? I hope not. I sure do enjoy it while you generously offer a ride.

I think the setback screens will go the way of the every-7-rows-overhead TVs of the 90's. In 10 years, I believe most, if not all, will offer streaming to your own device like Delta just announced. Maybe that is why JB invested big $$ in satellite internet and sold LiveTV…

But, back on topic, I hear the trend of steady, but small classes will continue.
