I do not think fuel prices will matter that much…I am sure they locked their prices in $60 to $70 range. I think hiring will depend on how many pilots are hired by majors and with high barrel prices so high I think many more people will air travel vs drive, giving airlines impression they will need to hire more !!!?!!!
