hiring happens when it happens and stops when it stops. The people that make those decisions do so with information that can and does change.

Sounds like 2 years of stagnation. So yeah realistic (bad) news.

there gonna look super cool taxiing by with an HA guy driving it. Maybe he’ll toss you one of those Hawaiian surfs up gestures out the window as you realize you’re gonna be hitting your head on the hyd pump switches for the next 10 years.

I don't care what I'm flying as long as the outlook is good. Not too sure about that.

I'm still trying to figure out why so many coworkers are celibrating the straight 900s going away. Each one is 2 less pilot seats. At best the MAX 9s are a replacement. Worse Boeing can't meet delivery timetables.

There will be no upgrade or position bids in 2024 or 2025. There could be a bid to rebalance the FOs in SFO. There will be no reduction bids.

According to the call 11 MAXs have been delivered in 2024. There could be more one response was 4 more and another was 5.

*Keep in mind this is my interpretation of the questions asked on the call.
