The record number is for pre-booked hours heading into a month, not hours flown in a month. It's a good start, but we still have a bunch booking to do to set a monthly record. Hopefully, this is a good sign for the whole industry.

If you're serious about the interview incidentals thing, send me a pm and I'll help you. I've only ever heard of one guy who was ever denied anything. The way I heard the story, he drove his rental car from Sacramento to Portland, and changed his flight to leave three days later out of PDX. Was that you? If so, you're a legend, but not in a good way.

As for the pilots that were let go a couple months back, we want to see them return as soon as possible. We took delivery of several airplanes at the end of the year when things had already slowed, and pre-staffed for future aircraft arrivals. Even though flying is up slightly year over year, we have several more aircraft then we did last year. That's why we can have a "record" month without additional hiring. Hopefully, the trend will continue, and we'll get them back soon.
