Yes hiring is a problem.. We took 6 in last week and have over 15 end of month secured.
I know both September classes are going to be bigger. The recruiting team is really going above and beyond. Lots of boxers.
Just like with the other 2 WOs and with other regionals, fleet plans look great on paper but when it comes down to actually staffing that flying... Good luck. None of the WOs are that attractive to new hires right now. PSA is supposed to be receiving the 35 remaining 700s from Envoy. Envoy had orders for 40 175s and options for 90 more. No one can attract new hires.
