If we are buying some airplanes, then the actual date that they are arriving will tell the real story on what our hiring needs will be and when.
I found this the most interesting part of the update:
756: .......In addition to the 25 DCA 756 captain vacancies shown below, there may be a few more ‘growth’ vacancies ahead, plus backfills as reflected by the min/max bulletin......
320: The vacancy tells the story: Airbus growth opportunities reside in EWR, ORD and SFO.
This is the closest we've seen to "official confirmation" that we are about to acquire Airbuses, and reinforces rumors that we are looking at 767-300s (I've also heard 757-300s, in addition to the 767s).
I only have one datapoint for the 767/757 rumor, but allegedly, 3 or more 767s. The selling airline has 12. Not sure of a source airline or quantity for 757-300s; I don't have a rumored seller, nor quantity.
This is getting interesting.
