I can say almost for certain that the reason they've slowed a little is because I've been sitting on my butt waiting for IOE trips for about 4 or 5 weeks now in chicago, and I still have a week to go til my next 4 day. Also I believe we are having some turnover in our training dept at the moment. But yes we are hiring like mad still, in fact I recently got a company email from our recruiter telling us to get any of our friends to our upcoming group interview sessions. She also hinted that the upgrade would be pretty quick for those with our capt mins. (2500 total, 1000 in crew) So yea, go to a group interview.
