For what it's worth I'm sure we'll be back to understaffed come next spring/summer with 900+ retirements/medical outs a year. The company will wait too long to start new hires classes to save a few bucks.

Yeah. I don't care if it's every status. They've only been handing out a couple in the bids; haven't seen/heard of more than 10 to 20. Like I said before, the majority will hum along as normal; big nothing burger.

Now, we staff for summer flying (remember how Isom cut summer flying 5% to ensure reliability? due to staffing?) and go into the shoulder seasons slightly overstaffed. And people ***** at that.

Armchair CEOs are just gonna armchair CEO.

Calling it right now. They'll wait way too long to start back up and in summer '25 the PM/PR is going to be flowing just like 2 years ago for green July.

More bid statuses (BOS 320/PHL 73) most likely coming making training churn. XLR rollout and growing pains coming in hot. You hit the nail on the head. Summer '25 = Make hay while the sun shines; heck, holiday season too for that matter.

Will there be a March vacancy announcement? Is the company required to have one every quarter? I thought I heard/read/misunderstood somewhere that only three a year were contractual. Maybe that changed with the current contract….
