I think I added an additional zero (3000 versus 300) and there went my math. I hope I didn't come off as knowing everything, because I obviously don't. None the less, the reduction in the pilot force that I thought I saw seems to be at odds with this shortage talk. Additionally Delta seems to reducing its regional pilot staffing. Gosh, I *really* hope, for all our sakes, Delta starts hiring soon, and the 717s are growth, not net neutral to the Delta fleet.
My personal opinion is that the economy is too weak, and until very recently, oil too high for a pilot shortage/slow down. I'd love for the supply/demand equation work out in favor of pilots....still holding my breath for that
Thanks all for your responses, regards to everybody.

I really don't know if the Delta TA will get shot down. History isn't on the NO voters side. The TA passing isn't the end of the world IMO. I just don't think I personally can support it with a YES vote. The TA seems to have great potential, but I'm not sure if the language is air tight.

Yes but no. The 1970's certainly had a recession, but no more so than the lowest price of the Dow Jones Industrial Average yesterday can be labeled an 'intraday recession.' It depends on what 'fractal' or time period you are looking at. As for the last 100 years, we have been in a raging bull market, the greatest in history.

So the crash of 1929, 1987, 2000, and 2007, all within the last 100 years, make this a "raging bull market"

Those were corrections. Look at the value of a dollar invested in 1912 to today, you'll find he's correct.
