I haven't heard the 160 rumor yet, but I like it. Just looking at the new flying on established or previously announced routes looks like a lot of those shorter legs could easily be worked into our current schedules to maximize duty day??? Kind of like the Hawaii - Mainland with a bonus GEG leg thrown on top. I just don't see 160 pilots needed to do those new routes. I realize there are retirments to fill but I'm waiting for even more routes to be announced! Or maybe we're finally going public with our 787 purchase!

I just heard from JH yesterday and he said their marching ~24/mo going forward & 160 by end 2014. Saw JL in the hall today and he corroborated that his dept is planning for that.

The "growth mode" memo alluded to 84-104 new hires for the rest of the year. Heck, this current bid only has 44 vacancies on it. Where is everyone coming up with these 100+ numbers? Are you sure you aren't confusing the total for 2014? I think Alaska will have a total of 160 for the year.
As far as it being "too late for July," what makes you say that? The next class starts on 7/7. They could start another class later in the month.

There's supposedly an August 4th class after mine, too.
