I don't think it includes people in training. The whole thing isn't an exact science, so take it for what it's worth. The average class size of 11 could be accurate, especially in busy summer months when everyone is out flying the line and there aren't many instructors around.

You may be right, honestly I have no clue how many we will hire for 2014. The original plan was 400 total (200 for growth + 200 for attrition). Rich sent us that recent email stating the attrition number has been reduced to 100, so that's where I figured we would hire 300 for the year. We have already hired 200, so 100 remaining for the year would make some sense. Your info is more recent, so hopefully that holds up.
