What they need vs. what they do are differnet. Thus far this year, it’s been about 60 a month for Jan and Feb, but I believe it’s only one class for March. IF they do the usual summer halt (highly likely), it’s onky 60/mo for the months they run classes.

Have spoken with some of your crews who thought they would keep some training going, due to the numbers required to hire/train.

Thoughts?
Historically, that is true.

However, 2017 was SUPPOSED to see a resume of hiring in the fall. They didn’t run a new hire class till December.
