Never know in this business. Could be staffed properly (in THEIR minds). Could be taking existing aircraft out of service for a new livery with word Blue in it and new interiors with TVs...

We are all the last to know.

I would agree with most of this. It comes down to communication skills probably. How something is said if often louder than what is said. Regardless, semantics don't interest me much. Southwest proved years ago that titles don't mean anything. We are fighting and will continue to fight for what is fair. And all the naysayers can wait until after the TA is ratified to criticize. Until then what benefit is there to pointing out the obvious? Of course we're the fat girls - and anyone who thinks otherwise apparently missed 'how to read charts' in the 2nd grade.

Indeed. Hoping we can all be pretty soon...

We are way overstaffed for the current amount of flying, at least on the FO side. Just goes to show never count on the rosy management projections when it comes to hiring and upgrades. This will probably push upgrade times into the 3-4 year range. Makes it tough to swallow when right seaters make less than half of most other AB operators. Maybe our LOA 67 Hail Mary will come through and stop the bleeding a little bit, but I don't think anyone is counting on that.

That's not going to happen. B6 can't afford F9. Plus we've purchased a new HQ.

Simply an asset on the pre-IPO balance sheet at the moment.

Management just read threeeighteen's post and found out He and His buddies from Daytona Beech determined that we are NOT a major. Hence no more growth. It'll take a few months, I'm sure, to recover from such scathing and insightful analysis.

Good point. Let's see what happens with it.

That's funny.

The hiring team has a big meeting tomorrow I heard.
