The CEO says Midwest will make their announcement by the end of the year.

Just a WAG, but if we get Midwest flying, hiring will be heavy from the first of the year looking forward. If we don't, there will still be steady hiring for attrition...and that attrition will skyrocket if we lose the contract grievance and don't win Midwest flying. Either way, hiring will probably be steady once the first class starts the first of the year.
