bad news guys. the way im reading this new vacancy bid, we are done hiring for the year. we have 627 pilots on property, and that'll be it. that includes the pilots who just started class. the bid information packet did indicate a bid vacancy in mid-june, which should indicate the hiring need for 2014.

this bid is very suspicious. it is meant for the closure of the seattle domicile in december 2013. in my opinion, it was totally unnecessary to put this bid out now, when it couldve been combined with the june bid vacancy. so although this bid says no more hiring this year, the june bid will probably say otherwise.
