When I said this was growth flying I meant that DEN FRA is a NEW route being flown with NEW airplanes being delivered from a manufacturer, not a friggin treatise on the state of the airline industry as a whole. Sheesh.

Yes. But some guys just want to be negative and look at what they don't have or didn't get, instead of what they have now. I've been here 23+ years and its as good now as it was when we have 2 year guppy Captains in the late 90s. Now we have two new-hire classes a month with 40 pilots in each class. I think from now to 2020 its going to be pretty nice with a lot of movement while we have 20+ 787s being delivered in the next 24 months, monthly vacancy bids, and lots of retirements.

Bottom line if guys can complain when things are this good, they are going to complain all the time.

How in the world do you not consider the 787s 777-300s and all the guppies we’ve taken delivery of?

How many 707s and DC-10s did we used to have? Stupid shrinking airline...,,

DL was at 12,500 at their merger. They are now at 14,500 and still growing. American was at 14,500 at their merger.

We have not grown...yet.

No growth huh? Tell me what aircraft were the 1437 furloughed pilots flying in 2011? What aircraft are they flying now along with the 2800 new hires? If there was no growth we would have 1437 less new hires. If we didn’t have pilots on furlough at the time of the merger we would have nearly 14,000 pilots.
