Well I hope that the hiring slow down is only a temporary thing. I know I got a feb. 25th class date for the CRJ-200 and hope that I am not the last. As far as pilot numbers I have heard anything from 1300 to 2000 pilot operation. What I had heard is that they got a CRJ-200 sim that is only a CRJ-200 sim(not able to switch to a 900 sim). So does that mean more 200's are going to be coming to mesaba? Anyway I think the biggest thing right now is that we have enough people to fly the aircraft but as more aircraft do hit the fleet we will go back to hiring plus what other people have said as far as attrition with the flow through to NWA, retirement, and people leaving for other carriers, that will make movement still possible with in the company.
