"We expect to hire over 400 pilots in the next two years, and this program secures our ability to recruit and retain experienced pilots capable of quickly progressing from first officer to captain."

Interesting numbers. Yes, hire 400 pilots over 2 years but currently losing ~15-20 per month, which evens out. I just hope this isn't fluff generated using current attrition numbers. Anyway, it's little more than a conveniently-phrased recruiting gag until there's flying announced. How can anyone talk about quick progression while the upgrade stands at 5+ years?

Hoping for the best, but just like with the United thing, I'm skeptical.
