Congrats to all otherwise!
The current plan is to hire 600 pilots total for 2011. There were dozens of unfilled FO positions on the last vacancy bid as well, so it is safe to say we need pilots in just about every base/equip status.
If they did lower the mins any I highly doubt they would drop the 100ME requirement. When the mins get to the 200TT range then you might see them lowering the Multi mins, but we are still a long ways from that point.
I wouldnt be surprised to see 500TT/100ME in the summer.
