Thanks for helping us poolies to keep the faith.
Hiring occurs when there are unfilled vacancies from a system bid. Are there currently any unfilled vacancies? No, but a bid is still active. Don't expect any however except possibly DC-8 S/O later this year.
Do we expect any hiring in the near-term? Probably not. Given that UPS wants to reduce the crew ratio to 3/1 and 6/1 Dom/Int'l, it doesn't look too promising in the near-term for poolies. Alot will depend on when we announce some new aircraft acquisitions. Tough time to be swimming but one never knows around here. Good luck.
