During every other recall period they only brought back a handful at a time like 6-8 pilots. We were pleasantly surprised they announced 18 last month and 18 more today. Many think 18 is the absolute most they can train at once. I fully expect the remaining 10 to be back in May.
Also keep in mind that UPS does not think of it as recalling. These guys are not on the payroll and UPS sees them as an expense. As far as UPS is concerned they have hired 36 pilots in a 30 day period. That's unprecedented in this century.
What does that mean? Who knows. Many think it means that UPS expects the cargo cutout to end. Reports are that they'd be forced to add 120 pilots.
