They specifically said that the zero's for 2nd half of the year is what this looked like last year. In 2006 we brought on almost 600 pilots, (100 of which were in december 2006). The numbers for june/july will likely come when more future is known. I'd expect close to 700 or more pilots when its all said and done. Just to cover attrition we need likely 30/mo. Lots of potential for more....

Currently 274 aircraft
205 Continental
15 Charter (4 currently working for Jetblue)
44 Branded (starts april 2 www.xjet.com)
10 For Delta in LAX (June 1 start up)

Lots of excitement and changes going on here.... Training is staying busy and upgrades are still holding AT 2 years. Good luck.
