AQP may be delayed, but it's coming. I had always heard a January start date, but latest update is it's been pushed to March/April and will start with a small group and grow once the FAA signs off. If they do it the way it's done at other airlines, you'd want it here sooner than later.
Bid for training is almost here, but trip trades/drops in AIMS will take longer as I believe they need to agree on a vendor. I haven't heard any rumors on more hiring but sure wouldn't mind.

AQP in December for sure
We'll hire 50 more through the end of Christmas
AQP in January. We're not kidding this time. Book it.
We're adding trip trades and drops to AIMS
AQP in Jan? That's BS. Maybe in early spring.
Never a shortage of good material out there. Enjoy your peak season everyone. I'm sure the furlough rumors are coming soon. AQP? Who knows.
