Ok then, why don't you just march into Jerry Atkin's office and demand he open the books for you? That's the only way you'll have the proof you're requesting.

Sheesh, HOW long have you been in this business?

Flew with a LCA last night. He said that the company had brought back 5 LCA's in anticipation of 'something', but we didn't get the 'something', so he is back flying the line. Current hiring is probably only for attrition at this time.

A complete guess is Skywest was in the running for the 53 large RJs that Republic just got. Im sure AA has more RFPs out there for more of the large RJ flying. Hopefully we are in the running.

Dude lets do it! That would be awesome.

I haven't been here long but I have a note from my parents if that means anything.

Well, according to the latest JetStream today, staffing is about right on the CRJ, and no more COLA's on the ERJ for March. No vacancy bid for the CRJ for now. So much for classes in the near future. Probably nothing until it's needed for attrition. Hope ya'll can swim well!

Next vacancy notice will probably be when the MRJs show up....all kidding aside, I really hope they have something figured out for the 200s that start leaving Delta this fall or its going to be depressing holiday season....

Or any First Officer with hopes of career advancement. It's been several depressing holiday seasons by now.

Word around A tech is no hiring for at least a year. Possible furloughs and displacements in the fall.

Guys in the pool, I'd swim elsewhere
