The long and short of it is we won't know how many new hires show up each week because they have instructors, requals, and roll overs. A better wag would be to take the monthly totals and compare them to the proposed hiring plan that was published in December. We will see what the end of January looks like. I suspect they will be on or maybe just slightly below glideslope based on the level of activity and word around the training center. There are plenty of warm qualified bodies looking for major airline jobs right now.
There is going to be churn for sure. As we become a second tier job with a lackluster contract, folks will leave here to go other places. I just don't think there is going to be some huge wave of no shows since they are overbooking and have plenty of applicants coming in the door.
