That's good to hear. Recent history suggests it will run until they get scared. It isn't particularly clear what data scares them but that's the pattern. I would be very happy with 1,000 by the end of the year.

14.9. We had 15.75 at the end of July before they started hiring again. Now the forecast of 2026 has us at 15.2. We’re hiring another 1,000 this year (250 a month) and running 250 a month through 03/2026 to “catch up” on sooner than expected A/C delivery’s. We have another 250 retiring this year and 900ish retiring next year. Your math isn’t mathing and we should be well past 16k closing in on 17k by the end March 26’.

It's possible that with the better disability package those percentages are creeping hire. I agree though that the numbers by March will be above the target in the bid. Their math is hard to understand.

The numbers change every week, I wouldn't worry about what they are looking for this week.
I would fill out the app and update it weekly and if your qualifications meet what they are looking for that particular day they will call. Internal recs, job fairs, etc all of course help a bunch but that's what I'd do.
I got called far sooner than I expected and when I was in indoc months later I was talking to an HR person and they mentioned that they were only considering people at my hours level for 1 or 2 weeks then things changed again. Having the app up to date and in got the call the very first day I had what they wanted vs waiting until you hear through the grape vine you might be competitive.

Monthly update is probably a minimum plan. Two weeks is what I recommend as they were running classes every 2 weeks. With weekly classes I'd be updating weekly. You have no idea when your resume produces the magic combination that works. After every trip works also. "I do my logbook after every trip and I figure while I'm at it I might was well update my applications." Worked for him as well.

How close to the DFW interview do they send info about the HR/Admin interview?
my interview is a little under 30 days out now, and I haven’t heard anything else. Im a little worried about my availability with my current flight schedule in this time frame

It's possible the forecast was done prior to the Spirit filing and now they are trying to increase hiring due to the possibility of them pulling out of some of our markets as well.
