Default Estimate

252 people were hired before the start of summer and I would wager an additional 200 have been hired this fall. SkyHigh I don't really know how you can refute hard facts. over 500 people will have been hired at Continental by the end of the year, averaging just over 30 years old. This info is factual evidence against the "Very few people make it to the majors and if they do they're too old to enjoy it" idea that you preach.
Like I said it was an estimate. CAL could be selectively hiring outside of the averages. In regards to the big picture I don't see how this really has any relevance anyway. It helps but does not build much of a case against what I have mentioned.
