I stand corrected. That would put projected hiring at 80 for the second half of the year.

Consider this. In November 2011, Eagle and XJet were projecting 600 new hires for a combined total of 1200.

Fast forward to April of 2012 and Eagle, rather than hiring 600, has furloughed 70 and XJet has plans to hire a total of 250 or so.

Rather than adding 1200, the two look to be adding just 180 to 200. I might be wrong, but 2012 has the feel of what happened in 2008.
