I’m honestly not sure if ~200 a month is sustainable for almost 2 years, I guess we will see if they can pull it off. I can only imagine the havoc this will wreck on our RJ feed, which will only exacerbate their problem.
bet they are wishing they had not played stupid UNA games after the VEOP.
I can also verify crazyjaydawg‘s numbers/analysis. Heard it directly from the mouth of a senior Flt Ops person who would know. In fact his number was even higher, but they know they can’t get to
that number.
I only say this here to validate that hiring going forward will be massive for years to come. Good for everyone, except Regional recruiters. It’s probably why the new E9 CAP program is a 4.5 year path, so as not to bleed them dry.
