This actually rings true. They must plan on an '18 TA due to the sheer # of guys that would be required for real reserve rules alone. And I still dont see how they staff after any real CBA is passed- how much of it can you stagger anyway? This airline is one big disappointment this year.

Interesting question- What is the plan? If they even have one.

The cabin refresh was delayed like 3 years. This place is going down the drain.

I thought they were starting in September of this year or something like that.

I really hope they are planning for an acquisition. This isn't looking good.

Might be time for a vote of no confidence in management. Not looking good at all.

They can't upgrade anymore than 25, they will deplete the drying up pool of F.O.'s... simple math. No sense in having more captains than first officers.

Wonder what it would look like if we cliff noted the doom and gloom thread from the beginning of time, and see if any nightmares have ever come true.

Sit back and enjoy your mint meal after checking in with gander on your way to Dublin in your roomy LR.
