Didn't they do this the last time they stopped hiring in 08? Not too cool to get guys spooled up with an interview then call them and tell them to study for another year. Hopefully it's just due to alot of bypassers calling up and wanting in this last week. If anything is going on, my bet is that it has to do with the Compass/Mesaba fiasco. I think they just had another super secret MEC meeting on the issue so maybe they are gonna fill up this year with bypassers and flow-ups.

In any case, next year is only 5 months away so maybe they'll start interviewing again in Jan for the summer 2011 schedule which is when they need to hire to have guys in place for the summer.
