Default Big things happening around the industry

1. Big Delta bid just announced. "With our network and flight schedule building back, we are pleased to continue the positive news with an Advance Entitlement that offers 1,612 positions – more than 1,000 of those being captain positions.”

2. United to begin pilot hiring again. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/01/unit...tivity.Message

3. JetBlue hiring to staff new London flying. "JB just got 14 weekly slots to Heathrow going up to 28 by the end of Sept."

4. Spirit, Sun Country, and Allegiant all announced hiring to begin this summer

I know I'm the resident Eyore, but it's hard not to be a LITTLE optimistic. A rising tide lifts all ships.

I sincerely doubt we will be hiring anytime soon unless we get MAXs super fast and use them for growth instead of replacement. Here’s hoping!

They will need to hire to offset all retirements, right?

I kid!

Seriously, though, I was hoping we'd see a seniority bump out of Covid but so far it's been a severe disappointment.
