That's entirely possible. The trips are getting more productive but it's harder to work high paying lines because of all the buffer restrictions put into the scheduling software to protect against 117 legality busts.

Congrats to everyone for the 30APR class.
Unfortunately, I received the "not this time, try again in 12 months" E-mail.
Had a great time at the interview though.

Well, sort of. 84 additional this year + the April 30th class that's starting at the end of this month.

What about the 150 for next year? Where is that info coming from. That covers retirements for 2015.

My previous post is correct. 28 April 30. 84 in June and July. 84 more the remainder of the year. 150 for 2015. That is slightly more than the expected retirements, I asked specifically if that was what that was for.

Source is head of pilot hiring, (directly.) You can PM for the name if necessary but I suspect you know who I'm talking about.
