even with no immediate retirements there will be additional hiring due to new rest rules and schedule flexibility.

I would think the introduction of the CRT limiting scheduled duty to 9:30, and the scheduled block time limit of 7:30, will create jobs...especially on the 757 domestic and Bus.

Archie,

You are correct. After reading the actual TA (not just the highlights) you must be on the seniority list till April '17 to collect the second half of your bonus. This gets the company thru peak (no surprise there) and gives them time to ramp up hiring into the spring and summer. I think 200 will leave between April '17 and Jun '17, but what do I know, I'm still flying west coast crap in the 76.

Based on what I see with the new vaca rules(buyback, days off paid at a greater rate), I will be surprised to see the mass departure. But one can dream.

Looks like they read the FDX playbook on how to keep people on property for another Peak.

No. Unfortunately I've been in the pool since Oct. 2014.
