[QUOTE=7576FO;590750]Hi Grant. Yes that's correct. All I can offer is a little history as I mostly fly with the senior CA's here. 1978, 79 big hiring at AA. Early 1980 saw a furlough. Hiring began again big in 1983-84. Nothing in 85. Then Huge hiring in 86-93. Lot's of 5 year CA's upgrades. 86-87 saw 1,000 a year hired. All young guys and gal's.

Not totally correct.
The hiring was continous from June 1984 until 1993 (not sure what month)
