No new intel on when the app window will open again.

They already have 4,000 "updated/current" applications on file to choose from.

We've hired 126 this year (about half "internal hires" from Corporate/Pro Instructors and "2007 Poolies"...and the next 60 or so were "off the street" pilots, who were identified, tested & interviewed under the new process).

Chief Pilot is "authorized" to hire 390 more over the next 21 months, but the economy and retirments will ultimately determine the actual need.

20 a month is still an "approx" rate of hiring with slow downs over peak.

1 more PASS board for this calendar year to identify some more interview candidates.

Bringing in 12 more 727/SOs this December.

I don't see any more clarity on # of new hires, or which seats they will be assigned, until after the New Year....and after the next Vacancy Bid --- spring of 2012?
