15 new planes this year and they think they only need 3 captains (15 bus-12 e90=3 total captains)?!

Going to be a rough long summer.

This boggles my mind. I talk to CA's that seem to work quite a bit during the slow months.

No sir. An ALPA volunteer and pilot. Come to the meetings!

Im sorry. I do like to have fun. I was slammed for being an ALPA volunteer. I am serious about this company and our ALPA contract. I take this board for whats its worth. If it was a real and serious board we would all have our names next to our posts like the ALPA forum is designed for.....

It's a bummer I didn't hit reply before you edited your post. Oh well. Still waiting for an answer, now going on six weeks or so. #keepsgettingbetter

Wow... well if that isn't the writing on the wall. Attrition from the bottom quarter of the seniority list ought to pick up after this doozy.

Does this mean they aren't going to hire 400 this year as previously stated?

BOS 320 Reserve. Used to block 20-35 hours typically. Have gone to work every day I was available since late January. I don't complain about getting called, it's what I'm paid for, but that's going to be unsustainable in the busy months.
