The latest news I have heard:

3 Bids remaining this year with effective dates of Nov 2013, Dec 2013 and Feb 2014.

Nov = 22 new hires
Dec = 10 new hires
Feb = 24 new hires.

These number are always subject to change and usually do.

2014 and beyond should be around 100 new hires a year till the cows come home. The 5 year pause button is finally just about done.

Good luck to you all. It's a great place to work.
