Keep in mind they are on track for 900 (maybe a few more) new hires for this year. That was their forecast at the begnning of the year. I got a lot of grief when I stuck to my guns on this. When they slowed hiring in Feb, I was told, “See, the sky is falling.” The same thing in the 2 months of slow down in the summer.
It has been announced that next year’s hiring will be 1,000. And when they slow down for a couple of months to handle the Mad Dogs, it will be announced by some here, “See, the sky is falling.” Then, by the end of 2019 they will be on track for the 1,000 new hires.

Low man in PHX is less then 500 numbers from the bottom. I’ve heard rumors of 1000+ new hires for 2019. This does not prove anything going forward, just a snap shot right now. PHX is the most senior A320/CA base and one of the more junior A320/FO bases. Best guess I have would be right after your 6-mo seat lock to 12 months (2 bid cycles after seat lock). Getting A320 anywhere in Indoc would help to avoid a withholding of upto 12 mo after be “awarded” PHX.
