For all intents and purposes we are back to normal. We are at pre COVID block hours. What isn't the same is the mass exodus of pilots we saw in 2019. So thus far the company has been able to keep up with the increased demand by bringing pilots on leave back to the line, bringing back the furlough trainees, and bringing in the LIFT Academy grads and the CJOs that were out pre COVID. I would expect interviews and classes to brand new people to start shortly. The target is 40 new hires a month for the rest of the year but that could go up as things change. Once the Majors start hiring like they were in 2019 it will be gangbusters again.
