It may seem like an absurd question to ask but when are we going to start up the hiring process again? I’ve got a number of buddies that are itching to get over here and interview now that they’re AD commitments are up.

That virus is old news and the election is going to dominate for the remainder of the year, borders will be opening up soon, and the increase in flying from month to month will not be linear. We were trying to play catch up at the beginning of the year by adding 1,300 new pilots...well we took a minor detour so in reality we’re already prepped to be a smaller airline.

My guess is by JANUARY we get our poolies into training and interviews begin again.

Of course we’ll have to cancel this bid or have another for cleanup AND remove our capacity restrictions AND bring the planes back...but that’s okay...it’ll happen...by JANUARY.
