I was in DAL on the 7th and things are looking good.... The fine folks at the people dept are reaffirming 500 for next year and also 500 the year after. While we were on lunch break, I met 3 guys who had just retired the previous week and they said that retirements are strong and will remain that way for the next few years (all the old Braniff and Eastern guys who are still left). Combined with the 34 planes each year.... it looks great now.
The interview was awesome, just like everyone says. Remember to stay positive and just be yourself!
Good Luck!
