Lets get some facts straight real fast.... 4 pilots have not had a chance to accept recall. If indeed there is another round of phone calls going out for Jan 3rd class or not, most likely those 4 will get a call.... Once they get a call the list will then go in reverse order to knock out the list. At which point you will have to accept recall or resign.

Now with saying that, there are roughly 23 TOTAL pilots still on furlough with recall rights. Of those 23 only 4 have not had a chance to come back. Of those 23 I would put an educated guess that only half will accept a recall ever... Thus after a couple of recall classes there will be a need for new hires...... As to when they would need new hires depends on how many recall classes are planned and will be run. That number is as always unknown....
