Hiring for 2015 won't change so none of you in Phase 2 have anything to worry about......the plan is still to hire around 400 new pilots next year...the same amount as this year.....
My guess is that the slowdown will occur for 2016-2018......and based on the deferrals, I think you're looking at about 300 per year for those years, then ramped back up for 2019 and beyond since the 320/321 accruals increase back to around 15 per year again....
If I had to bet right now, JB will have 4000 pilots on property by the end of 2018.......
