Likewise, the number of new-hires will be dependent on how many accept the mandatory recall. Sounds like the classes will be a mix of recalls and new-hires (unless every recall accepts the first-come classes).

Great news for a place that has had guys and gals on the street for some time. Welcome back!
Gator thanks for the warm welcome back.

Does anyone know if calls have gone out yet?

Currently Spirit has 42 furloughed pilots on the list of which 25 have been called at least once and differed. Only 17 have not been called once and of those, 7 will most likely differ on the first call and wait for a mandatory call.

Which means that a recall of 12 or more could get us to the bottom of the list.

Anyone know how big the next vacancy bid is going to be for?
