There may be more than 40 in the pool. Only HR knows for sure (Come on D, spill the beans...lol). And, the additional 80 trained were only counting those through the rest of this year. Your contact may be correct, too, if training/hiring continues next year.
Heard today that there'll be 133 retiring in the next 3 years. Told that the FOs that were hired a year ago could very well be upgrading to Capt within 3-5 years.
A bunch of the higher-ups briefly said hi today. But, the VP of Flt Ops is supposed to drop by for some Q&A time with our class soon. I'll try to share some of his "rumors" afterwards.
