US Airways Contract Projections

[Dornier 335]

450 East new hires in 2013 according to the school house.

When did you hear this? 300 is the number I was told two or three months ago. Not that I am complaining ...

135 retirements plus an extra 300 for everything else.

Medical, training float, ramping up the training dept, retirements out of there and parking domestic 737's but adding international flying with 3 person crews, 3 more E 190's spring of 2013 and lastly - they got behind and should've hired more than 135 in 2012.

585 in two years, not too shabby.

As everyone's posts indicate, it's all about seniority...

Just like Crandall said on Bloomberg... pilot seniority cooperation is the key to the merger. APA and USAPA reps are way more rational about this than the majority of posters here.

APA is going to inherit multi million dollar legal bills if they don't use the Nic. That has been made abundantly clear by the West pilots. Sure, the East will sue but the difference is the East's suit will get tossed out of court. The West has a sledge hammer and is more than happy to use it.

So, in terms of being rational...the APA is rational. ****************************** is now, and always has been, run by an immature group of scab cowards. APA is going to steamroll USAPA....by design.
