Caution...personal opinion follows!!
Hiring is not likely to be affected since we are likely to use one of the airplanes that are already in our fleet (and is staffed) when Panalpina accepts the second airplane in October.
However, once (if) we get the several -400F's back from GSS/BA, we are then likely to hire for them (and more if other airplanes are forthcoming, like the remaining 9+ B747-8F's).
