I think the actual number is slightly higher, but yes, it is inclusive of those presently on the property and those who have accepted an upcoming class date.
Buddy just decided to come back and is in the March 12 class. His class is composed of 8 L-UAL guys and 8 "poolies" from the last hiring cycle. 12 737s and 4 757s.
FWIW, he said it sounded like off the street hires (not in the pool) could be starting as early as late April but I don't have the source for that comment.
