It'll be awesome!!!

Provided of course everyone ignores out of sight fuel prices, eliminating smaller cities, parking RJs, reducing frequencies, and a pesky economy that insists on tetering on the edge of a double dip recession.

I've been calling the post office asking if they've seen my certified letter from NJA...thought maybe it had gotten lost

AA retired 111 pilots on 9/1. They are expecting another 500 to go before the end of Oct. (I think). I'm no believer in this supposed "huge" pilot shortage, but there will be some hiring going on.

I think the economy / fuel prices are going to cancel out a true hiring boom.

I personally think anyone hired after the '05 contract was unneeded. We never took the deliveries they anticipated and ended up overstaffed. Throw in the economy plunging down the crapper and this is the mess we have. I don't think we'll ever see recalls or at least the numbers we would like to see. Also you have to consider that the clowns running this show now are trying to do more with less. Every time I down a plane for a hard write-up, I'm on an airline to another. They're testing the waters. Just the way I see. I hope I'm wrong.
