Barring some huge economic collapse we should see good numbers moving forward. While much of the hiring is retirement related there is some growth at certain carriers. The regional world probably has the most uncertainty moving forward though I believe some part of that segment will always exist. The legacy cargo carriers UPS and FedEx should have moderate numbers over the next decade. That leaves the ACMI world of Atlas, Kalitta, ABX etc. All,are hiring now but that could easily change. atlas probably needs to hire 300-350 above attrition to to deal with the amazon contract, that may be difficult in this environment. Kalitta has said they would like to hire 100-130 this year and even with the new CBA that may be a challenge. Overall, the outlook is good across the industry I think. Certainly hired sooner rather than later is good for seniority reasons unless your segment is corporate which has a fairly robust outlook as well.
