Crew Planning just put out a video Friday with updated hiring numbers, down to 734 planned for the year. Interviews have stopped for now because classes are full through April, attrition is down, and there are a bunch of outstanding CJOs and D225 flows that need seats held.
While there is definite uncertainty with the -7, we are just converting all 2024 deliveries to -8s and are still taking delivery of close to 75 i believe. Retiring around 40 of our -700s so a net gain of around 30 aircraft. The retirements can be pushed back if demand for the aircraft warrants it while Boeing gets their sh*t together.
BNA crew base was just annouced to be opening May 1, also.
