I am about six months from being out of the military and heading into the private sector. Between the over 60 rule and gas prices, it seems most large outfits have put hiring on the back burner and are just trying to stay afloat. As far as I can tell, of the majors only Southwest is actually interviewing and hiring right now. Looks like UPS and FedEx aren't hiring at all. Fractionals may just be out-of-reach for me because of TT.

So considering all of that, in your opinion(s), which operations have the best chance of being in the position to start hiring again come this fall? Any of them? Any rumors that applications are going to be accepted soon? I know no one here has a crystal ball they can look in to and say for certain, but it seems like the industry grapevine is a pretty great source and I am hoping some of you are willing to pass along any information you might have.
