Hey Guys,

Long time listener, first time caller.

Some news on the fleet numbers/hiring front:

Flew w/ management type directly involved @ 10 days ago. Revisions to The Plan:

Old Plan: Hire 120+/- from Fall 2013 thru late Spring 2014 to cover pt.117, increased Spirit-style utilization, a few additional used 320s as they were sourced, some legacy recalls, and a very few retirements.

New Plan (as of a few weeks ago): 223FR is at GYR getting the once-over and a shiny new flamingo on the tail- in from Manilla 3 weeks ago. Should be on the line in April. Another used 320 in from Europe any day.
-4-5 additional sourced used birds to deliver this year.
-10 +/- used birds sourced for delivery next year ahead of the NEO deliveries.
Training Dept is maxed out right now at 20 new hires/mo. Plan is to maintain 20/mo thru late Spring, downshift but not stop through Summer, and then step it up to 20/mo indefinitely. SSS is looking to add a sim ASAP, and training is looking for sim time anywhere they can.

Looks like we can look forward to quite a few welcome new faces!
