5-7 years down the road though, they would have retired anyway and we will still have the same work rules that require less pilots though. Thats back to what we know.

To sum it up: All the bad stuff is definite. A lot of the good stuff serms to be iffy.
but the touch n goes said this was going to cause 4000 newhires!

Wow! That's great news! Did they just now find this out?

Yeah, that one carries as much water as, "we don't think the 76 seat flying will affect mainline operations"

I thought it said a potential of 2900 WITH the TA, and 1800 WITHOUT the TA (between now and 2017).

Did I read that wrong?

Sarcastic comments tend to include sarcasm. Try to keep up, shiz!

Lol,it never actually says there will be new-hires...
It says that flight ops is:

"preparing to begin the hiring process later this year"

That could mean anything...
Just like this line from over 2 years ago:

We'll be launching LGA ORD shuttle service with EMB175 aircraft which we hope will pave the way to grow that market into mainline service once we see demand increase enough to justify a larger aircraft. (LGA-ORD is in the single digits of top US city pairs, it won't ever get any better...)

Cheers
George

Bill, do you ever get tired of fear mongering? It's like a full time job for you.
