This is correct. I got the call for the 10 Sep class and I'm a Dec pool date.

I haven't heard of any retirements since the rule change...I hope you're right though...I have been flying with quite a few guys as of late that have no intentions of leaving at 60...I'm not trying to bring spirits down or anything but GK spoke to the new hire class on 7/30 and said right now the plan is for zero growth for next year..his words..of course all things can change on a moments notice. Still a great place to be even on the bottom of a very slowly growing list...just keepin it real

Yea, I would like to see some hard evidence on this? If this was true I don't think upgrade would be up to over 7 years of seniority.

I dont think thats acurate either, but at the same time there are a few guys getting out. IN HOU today there was a notice that one of the Captains there is doing a retirement flight on the 27th (HOU AUS or SAT).
