You can read a lot of stuff on these forums. Pilots can be pretty cynical and pessimistic, so there's a lot of doom and gloom. Yes we're still hiring. Skywest Inc. is shifting to short term CPAs because they're more profitable, but it can make the expiration dates in the 10Qs and 10K kinda scary when we're used to seeing longer term agreements. Chip said he'd do all 30 day CPAs if he could, because those make the most money, so we shouldn't expect to see the 5/10 year agreements of yore. It was those kinds of CPAs that almost sunk us. If ExpressJet breaks even or shows a modest profit later this year, I think we'll see more flying come our way.
