Agreed. Class sizes were actually just increased from 24 a month to 28. The class sizes will vary, but there is not pause or "slow down for 6 months" anticipated at this time. Some 319's that are older will begin to be returned to lessors next year, but between now and Christmas the airline is also taking delivery of 6 new airframes- 4 321's and 2 320's.
Bottom line, if F9 is were you want to come work, please don't let message board rumors dissuade you. Growth and hiring for the rest of the decade.
(Speaking of Internet rumors, a little birdie told me there's a better than likely chance we could see an LAS base before 2016.)

Not sure if anyone has addressed this since then or brought up what he said on here.
