Second the returning furloughs overwhelmingly either chose class dates ASAP or furthest out. So March was full of returning furloughs and the rest have been assigned June classes. I believe April has 2 new hire classes. I cannot confirm plans for May. Looks like June may be all returning furloughs. I have also heard no large amounts of new hires until Sept/Fall. The training dept is just catching up. This topic was brought up in the latest investor conference call as well. Envoy flow throughs are 20 a month when AA is hiring off the street.
