To the extent that this does or does not attract additional pilots, I don't see the work rate staying the same. As I don't see this really attracting a significant number of pilots and as the aircraft continue to arrive, I expect that as a pilot group we will continue to work harder and harder. It is only the guys who are already maxed out that can expect no change. If you're flying 80 hours a month, expect 90, if you're flying 90, expect 100. (Of course, that clever little propaganda exercise about captains being treated as VP's, well I guess it might work. I guess that since we're VP's, we can expect a multiple of the announced profit share in our May payslip - NOT).
