AA is only going to hire about 75 non-military pilots off of the street this year. The rest are going to be military and flows.
For 5 of those 75 to have come from PSA outside of the flow is a pretty good percentage. Those that were taken were recruiters and a chief pilot.
I can't say that it will happen again next year, but that is where we stand this year.
