Training/interviewing is ramping up to full capacity, if not already. Company asked the union for twice the number of hiring reps than normal for April interviews. Lots of new DEs on the 747 side. If that's all for attrition, we can't handle any growth.
Someone mentioned Flynn said the -8 options would used to replace older -400s.
