Actually most instructors have line numbers these days. I don't know the exact ratio, but only a couple of the E190 guys aren't line qualified. On the bus there are more who aren't line qualified because several of them are over 65, or don't have medicals. The guys who can be but aren't are either patiently waiting for their year to be up, or didn't make it in the last round of interviews.

Over the summer the new hire class sizes typically shrink, and go to one per month, then pick back up in the fall.
