Got word from ALPA that I am, in fact, pay protected. Said it would get corrected after the trip.

Section 12 J. It's applied at the end of the bid period.

Word in the 73 world is that the 75s aren't going anywhere soon. Which makes the -900s growth aircraft for the foreseeable future. That means hiring. And based on the lack of reserve coverage lately on the narrow body's seems to me to be a little late. We can't cover the trips on the books. I was supposed to fly the GDL red eye from LAX to GDL. CA no showed, no green slips and no IAs. The trip went no op and I burned out. Full boat to GDL and no CA 12 hours later. That cost the company a pretty penny. There goes the overmanned theory.

I just heard the latest from a friend of a friend that at a recent LCA meeting, RA said hiring will be at about 70 per month, indefinitely.

That number is a little high, and I am not sure if it was Mr Anderson himself that actually said it.
