I just walked into Abbots off VA Ave and found out that they are asking $95 + tax per pair of pants. 500 yards up the road M & H is selling pants for $53/pair.
Anyone have any experience with the M&H pants? I went cheapo on my last go-round and bought some lookalikes at Kohl's, but they haven't held up.
I figure I can buy M&H pants almost 2:1 vs Abbots. Are they cheap as well? I don't want to be back at this again until I need to add another inch to the waistline.

See what happens when you take a hiatus. There are a ton of great posters here with well thought out ideas, info, and answers to all the questions anyone could have. You're one of the best sources of info and well thought out posts on here. If guys like you leave we'll be left with the UFC.

As we approach Spring 2015 we are coming into the time-frame when more and more new hires are at the end of their 1 year seat lock.
The company has basically enjoyed a 1 year hiatus of new hires changing equipment that due to the fact that hiring really ramped up about a year ago is mostly ending.
Each AE will probably have more and more new hires changing equipment. I am trying to wrap my head around what that will mean for Delta. Obviously more churn in the training department but I am not sure what else will be affected.
It seems to me that as long as we are steadily hiring the 1 year seat lock provides most of its benefit to the company in the first year of any hiring cycle, and in subsequent years basically provides minimal benefit, and actually negative benefit in the first year after hiring stops.
Thoughts?

I don't think guys will be swapping equipment too much. There will always be guys who will choose QOL over pay rates or bigger cockpits. Plus, spending a month on VA ave in the summer is no ones idea of a good time.
Those that do move up to 7ER or 73N, will just be forcing new hires into more 717s and MD 88 right seats. All of the training spots will be spoken for one way or another, the only difference will be less new hire slots on the 7ER and 73N.

Have you tried AXIST no wrinkle pants at Kohl's? Mine have held up for years, on sale for $33 each.

Or is it credit hours? With credit per day up coincident with block hour increases and the higher ADG, does that account for some of the alleged spike in time used?
It would be a major bad faith party foul to find out they were using unfair statistical manipulation to levy false accusations, or even to slightly exaggerate the numbers.
