Original estimates were for about 150 off-the-street hires this round to hit the 305 hiring number after flows and furlough returns. Interviewing 12 a day, 4 days a week for five weeks with about a 60% success rate puts the number hired after this week at just less than 150 (and 60% is just an estimate based of anecdotal info.) I'm not surprised they held to the 305 number going into the seasonal flying pulldown. It is still the only number put out through official sources. Anything else is (mostly uninformed) speculation and rumors.
