The company is now ramping up recruitment at the universities with big flight programs in concert with the lowered minimums to try to grab as many qualified pilots as possible before they are all the way on the airline track. I'm sure we will get many pilots from these programs, but I doubt we will be able to hold onto a huge percentage of them very long unless the company offers more money in a new contract. I'm personally hoping for lots of hires followed by lots of rapid departures since this is the only way the company will be willing to come to the bargaining table to improve things for everyone on property- we have at least 5 or 6 years left on the current contract with the extention available to the company. At least this may accelerate the process of hiring/ retention pain for the company.
