The last class for the year started three weeks ago. Once that class is done, we should be fully staffed (more or less) for the flying we have now. I don't know of any hiring planned for the immediate future. There are about a dozen mandatory retirements next year, so I would expect two to three classes of four to six to replace those and maybe another one or two for the others who decide to go before 65 and whatever other attrition there is.
Class in January, allegedly from what I've heard.
Lot of movement coming with majors re-opening causing attrition, Captain retirements, and the potential other 10 from amazon. 21Air getting the other Atlas 7 does not void our option for 10 more that was in the original agreement.
And whatever else the union can lasso in from their last cargo conference, I guess. The 330 tid bit in the last email update was interesting...
