That is true. They were evidently offering interview dates at the most recent job fair. the lack of a contract, FO pay and the amount of major hiring is being to show its strain on the recruitment process. Difficult to keep up with 32 a month that way.
Also - attrition continues to climb, mostly with first year pilots and some 2 year pilots
