PBSG - that's a total of 250-300 bodies on the property before hiring starts. The guy doing the numbers crunching obviously has to make some assumptions, but he's been fairly accurate at his assumptions.

If his assumptions continue to stay fairly accurate to get the 100+ furloughee recalls will require going through the entire furlough list. After that the 165(?) AE flow-ups come(I think that's a 100% deal, ie they have to come), after which off the street hiring.

The unknown is how many will AA recall per month? 50?(that's what they were doing this spring). 60? 70? Or less?

If the projectioned assumptions of recall acceptance are correct 50 would clear the anticipated 250-300 guys in 5-6 months. 60 would be 4-5 months. 70 would be 4 months.

If the economy stays anywhere near stable it looks like off the street hiring should start NLT than 2012.

Hire until the furloughs start, furlough until the hiring starts...
