Didnt this last vacancy have 16 new FO's on it for the 900? How many FO's have we hired into the Saab/900 since this new round of hiring has started? Seems like quite a few.
I think it already is...with holidays they are trying to get everything they can out of us...we've seen a 10% increase in flying starting this month...I don't know about other FO's but I've seen my turn times this month go from around an hour to 30-40 minutes
I'm not sure on the #'s but our new spurt if you will....probably started somewhere in late August early Sept...the union rep that i talked to said anything over 9 900 FO's per award means we are hiring for something none of us know is coming...
