Does that help?
Yes it does! So looking at the new Dec '16 awards and if that the newest captain is still a July '15 hire, that would mean that the sorta quick (less then 2 years) upgrade still is around. Is thay correct? Originally Posted by Dubz

That massive hiring wave occurred from around 2013/14 through last summer when things slowed down. Last year around this time PSA announced the desire to hire 1000 pilots over the next two years. While I don't know the exact numbers of how many were hired in 2016; what I can tell you is that hiring approximately kept up with attrition maintaining us close to the 1200 number until the recent explosion which has us over the 1200 number and growing. That being said we are a year into the "we want 1000" and it would not be a stretch to say that we need to maintain current class sizes for quite some time to get there from here. Depending on who you listen to the desired endstate is anywhere between 1600 and 2000. No matter how you slice it there is quite a bit of successful hiring and training required to get to where we want to be.Does that help?
Also what are the proposed changes to the SAP?
