So this is on a Skywest thread and posted by SkyWestPilot1:

"The word on the street is that SkyWest is going to be looking for around 1600 or so all together. Around 580 or so for the Mesa work which should be showing up between now and the end of Sep. The rest is for the Comair work but won't be until after the 1st of the year. I guess their contract states that if anything is sold the pilots go with the equipment, however (as I've been told) that contract ends at the end of this year. I'm only the messengers......................."

Skywest is running 4 classes now, 2 for pool hires and 2 for UAL furloughs. So this guy thinks that they'll be hiring 1600 in Jan '11 because they're taking all of Comair's assets. Who writes this stuff?
