For example, if they need 30 more 320 FO's, then an AE has to have 30 openings and if all 30 of those openings are taken, then new hires can't be offered a 320 spot?
You are correct. My point is that the 320 fleet hasn't had near the movement in 2015 that other new hire fleets have. If you're a 320 guy, it's like hiring stopped 9 months ago. Maybe things'll open up in the next few months with the first 321 deliveries scheduled for April 2016.
