I like it.
Maybe not that much, like I said, there will be breaks for holidays, which would probably pull a few weeks out. There may also be fluctuations in the number of interviews conducted on any given week. Latest update from the VP of Flight Ops says we will be hiring 60 per month with a total need of 1,100 by spring '16. This doesn't account for early outs, etc, only age 65 and aircraft deliveries. Speaking of deliveries, we are getting 10 787's and 24 737's in '15. We are also keeping a number of 767-300's that will undergo a nose-to-tail refurb.
