Yeah, most of us have HEARD that rumor, about hiring a bunch of fa's. Most think it has something to do with getting a million rj's for airtran. I don't think the air tran rumor is true (at least I hope not). I know they are hiring fa's right now, but I think it's because of attrition, and fa's are understaffed. And I have also heard that we have to hire 5 to get 1 past the year mark. Sounds about right to me. So in essence, I think we are hiring fa's to make up for attrition and being short staffed.

I bet that 20-30% of the fa's get hired on thinking they will be making $20 x 40hrs a week. Must be pretty disappointed to find out they made more working at Chili's.
