Interesting bump in our stock, this afternoon. The only correlation I see is an announcement that we're on track to reduce debt to $10B in 2013.
Anyone else?

I do think they will HAVE to hire to stay competitive with UAL and AA.

blah blah blah. All 36 of 'em. woo hooo. I guess though it is great if you are in the top 500 and are 60 years old. For most of us, not so much. And when those super premium aircraft go away... and make no mistake, they will someday.... what then?
A steak dinner says that the 747s will not be replaced with 747s. So at least we did something right.

But there are so many flows, how will we be competitive with off the street hiring?
FWIW I'm in the training center and was told it is being expressed as "official" that interviewing will start in the fall for classes in early 2014 at 30 per month for the foreseeable future.[/QUOUTE]
Until I see actual new hires... It is just a bunch of southern cheerleadering!!

Right. But they certainly wouldn't if the bigger must pay more crowd had their way. That's why I said we did something right. (And I'll bet any WBs we see coming will not be 747s or 777s.... JMHO, from connecting dots)

No I don't think so. We are the cheapest carrier of the major SkyTeam partners from a labor perspective. Yet they, not us, have 100+ large WBs. How many "high paying" jobs has that lost? We are tied to the past with our current pay structure. We only spend on average maybe 1/4-1/3 of our career in the higher paying categories. The rest of the time its less. We need to get away from thinking what we might make someday for a few good years. What if payscales were adjusted to LGBP allowing a pilot to capture more pay over his whole career and not chase planes or bases to do it? How many guys in ATL, CVG, MSP would be happier if they could avoid commuting to protect their pay?
