Wow! 421 more new hires in the next 5 months. That's 85ish per month or a new hire class starting every week, minus the holiday weeks, through years end. Hope that means the upgrade numbers are increasing too.

According to SWAPA they are running 24 upgrades per month, which isnt much but it does provide a trickle of movement. It will be interesting to see what upgrade time starts to look like in the next 3-5 years as the folks pushed down by the Airtran merger get their number called. As for Reserves, contractually its 8% of total lines with RSV lines being awarded along with hard lines on the 9th of every month.

Why don't you go send a few cases of wine to your girl Claire. Without her you likely wouldn't even be on the bottom.

Wait... let me stop laughing for a second and share with you some of the things I've been told during interviews, indocs, etc over the last 20 years or so.
- You're all going to be captains in 5 years
- We had to hire the best of the best because the upgrade time is so quick
- This is the last uniform that you will ever wear
- You just won the lottery
- Airlines don't furlough to profitability
