Hiring Freeze until Fall 2018?

So a friend of mine, who is in the October new hire class, said MG came into class today and told them there will be no hiring until next fall. They are going all in until the transition is complete 😳 Wow. Glad they got hired last month. Hopefully it isn’t until fall, but that is what was just told to them.

This always happens right before a merger or bankruptcy

If this is indeed what happens, I think it’s safe to say it isn’t bankruptcy. It makes some sense. Having decided to be all Bus by June is absolutely a terrific move and one that needs to happen. It is going to take a lot out of the training dept to pull it off. Your not only dealing with transitions, but all the people doing recurrents as well.

If this is true I would venture to guess that part of the deal was to have all the Md-80's off the balance sheet by a certain (sooner) date and to cease hiring so there's fewer pilots to integrate into the larger system. There seems to have been a sudden shift in their course in the last few months, "hiring from now until forever" was the plan. Md-80's gone late 2019 but now abruptly moved up. New-hire classes suddenly cancelled with no advance warning and no email to the pilot group. Growth plans stunted, i.e. no 2nd OAK plane despite having 14 crews for the base. Strange LAS displacement bid. Lots of odd happenings around here, could be legit but it could be a buyout.
