I stated exactly what I just posted here. No where did anyone ever state there would be new hires in 2012. The plan was always to hire 100 to 150 pilots to staff the 717 training pipeline in 2013. The statement was that they would begin the hiring process in 2012. That always leads actual new hires by 4 to 6 months. You have to stand up the hiring process, hire people to staff the needed areas, select apps, interview, run required checks and finally get them into class. The good news is that by the end of 2014 the net number of pilots hired will end up being the same. We will just get more this year. The number might have actually gone up however the first 330 deliveries will not be in the first quarter of 15. They are now going to be in the second quarter.
