From December SSC (System Schedule Committee) report:

New Hires
The company New Hire plan is as follows: 19 in January and 20 in February. They did not publish any numbers beyond that point because they haven’t updated their plan.

Future Vacancies
The current backlog on 777 Transition Training is into March and any remaining need is not
needed until Spring unless a major change is made by Network Planning. So, at this point in
time, the company is not planning to discuss the next vacancy bid until the January SSC
meeting.


I suspect the deferral of 61 Guppies is gonna leave a mark!
