FAR 117 has not changed the required pilots at most mainline carriers. If anything, it has reduced the need for pilots. Thanks to the 2 hour extensions and not including post flight in the flight duty periods, we can now work longer than before. FAR 117 is a step back in fatigue limits.

That's because your contract was the worst in the industry. You should be embarrassed by that, not proud of it. There are US Airways pilots that are excited that the 190 is going junior. To me, it's disgraceful.

Explain to me how our admittedly inferior contract caused this, and why I should be ashamed of 300 more mainline position added to the seniority list. Explain it to me as if I were a five year old.

There won't be a shortage, but there will be a tremendous amount of movement.
