I believe that we are adding 35-37 more CRJ700's. That alone will add about 200 captain vacancies. They should be coming late first quarter or early second quarter 2017. (about 5-6 months from now). That should give us time to get people through new hire training, upgrade a decent number, and get everyone through IOE before the airplanes start arriving.

PSA has proven they they can successfully add a lot of airplanes to their fleet in a short amount of time - provided there are pilots available to join the company. The addition of the 900's went very smoothly with all things considered. The major hiccup was hiring enough pilots.

With the additional money available, there should be more than enough pilots to fill all of the vacancies.

I have heard that we have over 50 interviews set up for the next 2 weeks alone. We will easily be able to fill October 10th and October 24th with no issues whatsoever.

There are quite a few lateral transfers coming on board soon as well.
