Everybody's got a fair shot here. When the window opens get your app in. Like anywhere else internal recs are looked at first, but they will look at those without recs after they've looked at those with. And they have hired from both groups. As for the military guys....yes, they've hired a fair percentage there too. The big thing to remember is they look at the overall package. Each class seems to be composed of pilots from a variety of backgrounds. The common thread is that they're very nice people, and the company has had more than one opportunity to look at them to make reasonably certain of that.

Not sure how many they'll eventually hire later this year.....it could be as few as a dozen if the net increase in the fleet is only one aircraft, or it could be a few dozen if they keep some 767s.
