The company doesn’t appreciate or despise us, we are just another line on a spreadsheet. Their job is to get the associated cost for pilots as low as possible, our job is to go in the opposite direction. Any “warm fuzzies” are deliberate to attempt to get a desired result for the benefit of the company. The day that I figured out that we are just contract labor heavy equipment operators my stress levels went way down. They play their games, we play ours, and it has always been that way. Show up, follow the contract to the letter, and then go home and let someone else deal with it for a few days.

Regarding the DEN slots. According to this DEN is now United’s largest hub. Also cost of living has sky rocketed in Denver- something in common with other junior hubs.

The “mayor” did a fine job at the event and the class name is perfect. Kru was also there.

Just got a LCA email that stated initial hiring projections are being revised from 300 to 1000 by years end. We are also buying an additional two 737 MAX sims for a total of five (full flight MAX sims). As always its TK news so take with a grain of salt.

AA has said, conservative, they will hire 900 by the end of 2022. The 2018 peak (2019 was slowed due to Mad Dog retirement retraining) was 939.
