1. Hiring isn’t slowing, it’s returning to normal. Last stated number was 100-125 a month.
2. I’ve stated before that the large number of seat locks probably has something to do with it, but we have had NYC and DTW WB positions go to new hires.
3. Recently announced that they were looking at 350 “variants” so probably an order for more coming.
4. You will be WB at United sooner, that is true. They go junior because their reserve rules are way worse than ours, and they have more WB planes.
5. If you live in a base, go there. That’s a no brainer.
