Good Luck!
How much more staffing do they need? They still have 300 listed on the employment page and still have more 200's and 900's coming. 15 new hires a month this year would still only be 135 pilots. It would make sense that once the economic and oil situation is worked out, hiring will continue well into next year. This is just looking at the 900's still coming (18 remaining correct??) and the 300 hundred they have listed. Even if they just hire half that amount, that it still quite a bit of hiring. And is the flow through thing still going to happen?
