However if the rumor is true that we will be getting an announcement in October of another 10 airbuses on top of what we already had coming up to this point, that will mean more hiring. Then again, along with that rumor is the rumor of the company releasing the seat locks of up to 80 MD-80 FO's to be allowed to move to the Airbus early, facilitating the earlier retirement of the older fleet. I would guess that would affect hiring numbers.

All of that is pure speculation, right now. Your guess is as good as anyone's.
