Guys,

From my notes from the March MSP base visit:

Training capacity. It was put out that we could sustain 60-70/month minimum for three years with surge capability at slower times. 60x12=720, 70x12=840, so with a few surge months above these numbers 1000/year should not be a problem.
201 guys still on bypass I think this is furlough only since he specifically mentioned “bypass” so it probably does not include MIL guys. Out of these 201 they were hoping for about 50 -60 to return.


When hiring starts it will be mostly flows: I think he said the first 20/month from Compass and then 9 month from Mesaba. Over 29/month will be off the street including the Pinnnacle dudes with preferential interviews. After the first few months of each year when Compass and Mesaba hit their annual limit (25%) all the new hires will be off the street.



They are anticipating the 717 and the M88 will be the new hire spots but when the movement hits high gear some new hires may go directly into the 737. No anticipation of New hires going into 757 and above like during the 2008 hiring cycle.
