It was going to be 15-20 a month for the year. This person mentioned he heard they would hire the internals and that would be it for a long while. They are starting to expect the economy to tank once again.
Discuss?
Yes, bringing on 30 internal folks to 727/SO seat over first 3-4 months of 2011....then wait to see how the economy is doing.
Training letter would indicate they would need to hire about 90-100 SOs for balance over 2011; however, 727 fleet will be cut in half from 2011 to 2013 so that # may not be as great as expected depending on how many over 65 guys stick around.
