Seven captains out of 1250 over three weeks is under 6/10ths of a percent in three weeks or approximately 9.7% year. That is NOT a huge number or percentage with the hiring at the majors going on these days. Anybody who is a captain with 1000 hours is certainly competitive at JetBlue, Spirit, and Frontier. The more people who actually put their apps out and hustle to get hired outside the flow, the better it is for them and everyone.
