There will be hiring unless we make some deal to return 200's on a one-for-one or two-for-one basis...but I think that would have been part of the package deal and announced up front.

Since the e-jets will likely go to transitions vice new-hires, they will need to bring new-hires on to replace folks leaving the EMB/CRJ for the e-jet. That would probably need to start hiring this summer to get online by fall. But it also depends on how many e-jets we take early in 2014... if it's only a handful, with most to follow later in 2014, then SKW might not need to hire until they really ramp up (six month lead to allow for two training events).
