isn't it. Of note the MEC blast from yesterday has hiring estimates up around 20% from the previous goals (363 v 300) and 163 upgrades vs 125.
Perhaps Airbus has other plans for the sims in the middle of the year and they want to make a big push, followed by the traditional summer crawl and picking up again in winter. We'll know in late December :-)
Good news all around though.. Congratulations to our new joiners!!
