I would suspect that we will start hiring as fast as possible next spring, JMHO. OUr biggest year was 300, and the choke point will be the training center, we are already severly mismanned on the MD11, that system is taxed beyond its limit and with 10 more coming on property next year, I have no idea on how we will ever staff them.
WOW! Maybe after 18 months they will call me for class.
