Denver would be better off if they had Tebow.
But I bet they still win.

True. We can and have run the operation much leaner in terms of overtime being the norm. Today, with the cost of healthcare and retirement accounts, it's cheaper to pay us overtime than it is to hire new bodies. As some have been saying on here, the real impetus to hiring will only come with a global economic recovery and expansion. Until then, my personal belief is that DL will just muddle along with what we've got pilot wise, even shrinking slightly to avoid having to start the hiring cycle. But at some point, the retirements kick in and they will have to begin some sort of replacement program. I don't think that will be a player for another 2 years at the very least.

Glad we don't stay there. They'd catch me posting.

Everyone likes looking at the end results...here are some:
Speculation by the Spinmeisters: "Oooohhh, look, shiny....hiring could happen in the Fall!"
Speculation by "That crowd on APC": "Hmmm, this TA doesn't look good for staffing...I bet this would push hiring back a couple of years"
Which turned out to be closer to what actually is happening?

Well, I must have missed something somewhere. You are going to have to point this one out to me. When and where did the company or anyone in a management position say the 717 would be coming to mainline if the TA did NOT pass?
All I ever saw was conjecture from line pilots that we would get them anyway if the TA didn't pass.

My proof is the same as where it said in the TA that if ratified we'd get the 717s.
