They said they want to "move quickly" on this, which I suspect means, "We want this to happen quickly, so we are going to ask the Union for a one-time pass on Moving Expenses in exchange for the Hub-basing."

Anyway, it sounded like they're hoping for this to happen by January. Maybe they meant 2015

It will probably be a lot more interesting in about 6 months with American's big hiring announcement a few weeks ago.

The industry is going full circle, in the 90's you paid them to work there, today they are paying you a bonus.

My prediction is the bonus will end up meaningless. Not that someone wouldn't work at Silver and collect a bonus, but will there be anyone available to work at Silver?

  • Student starts at all time lows
  • Student dropouts at all time highs
  • ATP and hour requirements
  • Rest duty rules
It's a formula for interesting times for sure.
