November 1 was the last class. In November they had said that they expected more classes after the first of the year, and we assumed that those classes were on the ASA side, although that hadn't been specifically mentioned. According to the powers that be, the ASA side is losing about 7 pilots per month to attrition, although December was a slow month. This means they should need a class of new hires beginning March 1st to cover that attrition. Just my opinion, not backed up with any facts, or even remotely reliable rumors! Any growth would require additional pilots.
There has been some talk that we are getting more CRJ-700's, but nobody I have spoken to seems to know if they are replacing some of the 200's, or if they are actually additional airframes.
Good Luck!
