Xjt will hire right up until they furghlough or begin to downgrade. They know if they they stop hiring they prob will not be able to restart. They need to keep staffing up for a few months until the aircraft begin leaving and this helps with attrition. Why would anyone want to come here? 30 plus airframes leaving, scope basically maxed at delta... It's a net loss of around 350 pilot positions.. Writing is on the wall, best scenario for the super senior guys, in a couple years what little of Xjt is left gets rolled into Skywest once the numbers prevent any real chance of a union drive.
