No classes after March. Should start back up in the fall.

Over hired a bit in 2011, no big conspiracy behind it.

Agree. That was before AA filed BK and before the new rest rules were public, but disappointing that they haven't kept that promise...

I'm confused, how does AA's bankruptcy affect our hiring?

I'm not a huge fan of our flight ops but this comment just goes to show that Jetblue flights ops, particularly the CP office, have little insight into what JetBlue is doing. You take everything that comes from a chief pilot with a proverbial grain of salt.

I think they were expecting a bunch of guys who have numbers at American to go back.

JB doesn't make you resign your prior seniority numbers? Wow, AE does.

JB can require you to do whatever it wants, but if American doesn't care it doesn't matter.
