Last Fall, in DEN at the standards meetings, two numbers were put on the big PowerPoint slide regarding new hires for 2017/2018. Most of us wrote these numbers down as we knew people would be Interested. Those numbers were 1170 for 2017 and 1240 for 2018. The presenters knew their audience and knew darn well we would share the info. Within days of being back home from the meeting, the network VP resigned (pilots in attendance had given him a long, standing ovation after his presentation) and the order for 65 737-700's was cancelled/pushed to the right/converted/whatever. We "de-Hubbed IAH and ORD a few years ago only to be told that we would be "re-hubbing/banking" these hubs this Fall. I get it, things change and new management bring new (old) ideas. I will not be getting my hopes up when presented with a great plan this Fall. Cautious optimism at best. I'll believe it when I see it still seems to be the best attitude for setting expectations. YMMV
