no!
more like 900 pilots this fall to handle the 88 B717s we're getting at the end of the year. They should all be here at once and then the 1.56 ratio kicks and... wait.
The 1.56 ratio kicks in once we sign this contract, which means they transfer flying to us and so that's when we take 88 B717s and we'll have them on property while we train 1,200 pilots to fly them.... wait.
No that's right. Oh yeah the RJ, thing. For every 2 CR2s we give up we get 1 B717. So we are giving up 200 CR2s for 88 B717s.

Hope i'm as optimistic as you are, but if you've been reading between the lines from our mgmt team for the past few years, they really hopes to downsize us to barebone, as long as it doesn't hurt revenue to the point of losing Wall street support.
I am already beginning to feel the changes the last MOU regarding reserve utilization. And I am afraid this TA is gonna bring even more negative QOL impact to our rank and file, all for a whopping 2-5 extra hours of pay.

rvr350, mine was somewhat sarcasm. I should have put one of those "roll eye" smilies at the end like gloopy did. As I have said before, I just don't see the hiring due to this ta considering current staffing, actual impact of work rule changes, unknown retirements, past predictions and promises, yada yada yada

You do realize that roughly 25% of DAL pilots will ALWAYS be on reserve...right?
They can't all "choose" to hold a line.
You keep justifying the unfair treatment of reserves by implying that they deserve to be treated like crap since they are junior.
That sucks.
