With a class of 12 running every 2 weeks totaling around 200 pilots to be hired, this hiring should run thru April. When will United have to start hiring in preparation for retirements in December of next year, summer 2012? I would expect anyone hired at CO to go back to UA if there isn't a contract by then.
