Its certainlly a good thing to see.
07 was a pretty good year for hiring.
08 stopped cold in spring for the merger.
10 was only a couple hundred.
14-Now have been mostly very good.
You could also say its good that we're buying fuel, and buying more fuel correlates strongly with more flying and hiring.
However if we were only buying 90% of the fuel we needed...
Any hiring is good in and of itself. But not hiring enough and running at redline with the operation bucking against the rev limiter is a net negative, even if its less of a negative than it otherwise could be.
