You guys are going to be surprised and unhappy.
I'm not doubting you looked at something, but the newhire numbers have literally jumped between 400 and 37 over the last several months. The new dude that took over for RR was laughing when he shared that info.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, as it appears the company has no clue yet how PBS is actually going to affect staffing. Transition was a win for them, but it really looks like they're over playing the PBS hand. No way you can add 12 more planes over the next 3 months and think we're not going to be short staffed by summertime considering the lack of hiring.
You and dfwboy need to chill out, it's frickin January.
