I flew with and Interviewer not long ago and he said they are cold calling off resumes and apps for interviews. Most of the guys are FO's from regionals . Says about 1/2 the people show up for interview- i.e. 20 invited to interview and 10-12 show up that day. I know when Allegiant got their new contract that helped their pool of applicants . There's no doubt a new contract would help with recruiting and retention.
