When they finally figure out how the heck they are going to deal with an airline that needs bodies but does not want to hire until the mid summer at the earliest.
Narrowbody is huge for the summer, err, International is coming back, we need to go after that market. Well what about the bid, err what bid, err the one that sent 1000 pilot to small jets, well, err we need them there, err well how do you want us to staff the big jets, err, hold on let me go get a few drinks.....
Just kidding of course, but they are trying to figure out how to make this whole bid work with the summer mess that is ramping up..

That does not surprise me. ![Smile](https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I flew with a guy a long time ago who logged EVERY detail.
One of his goals was to fly every MD-88 that Delta owned.
He was still chasing after 2 or 3 tail numbers last I heard.
Then he was going to upgrade and start the same quest on the 767 fleet.

I just log the time by day. Never know if you are going to need it.

Agreed. The company has the pieces they need to make the puzzle they want. Now they're just trying to put it together. I think it would have to be a drastic lock up of the economy too. Always a possibility, but I think things are getting better.

I will just say this. If we get everything that the company is working on; LGA and JAL, the projected hiring number will equate to the size of an airline like ASA.

plan makes ACL very happy. )

Also, today's sell off in the markets was by mostly ONE major European seller, apparently covering losses and taking advantage of dollar strength. After 3PM they wrapped up and the market rebounded.
Interesting the counter trend moves that take place and the overall level of market sophistication these days.
I'm not even calling a bottom yet, but the indications are beginning to show objective signs of change.
