Which puts you in their Xmas list because you have followed procedures. LoL
Reason is that if you asked for last out. You may get 5am hot. When asking why scheduling will say that hot is not considered an assignment.
They would like to have it both ways.

This is from the chief pilot in recurrent the other day. 4 upgrades and 8 new hires a month. They are planning on 1500hrs being a hard number in 2013. No grandfathering in so you have to have 1500hrs by Aug of 2013. No more hiring 250hr guys. Your probably going to have to have about 800 or 900hrs to be considered. They are thinking you will build 500hrs a year on reserve. Also if your not going to be 23 by aug 2013 you won't be hired either because you have to be 23 to get a ATP... Also, a mainline guy from the training dept. said Airways is going to be hiring the first of the year. The company can't decide on how much to hire. He said it changes daily. Anywhere from 10-25 a month. Hope this helps.

Airlines will lobby, like they have thus far with rest rules and they will get their way. Make no mistake about that. Be certain that airlines will exhaust every imaginable avenue before raising pay to attract pilots, to include raising retirement age again.
