He didn't say that: "Yes we plan to place more orders," William Flynn told Reuters on the sidelines of an aviation conference.
That's not a statement for growth or replacement. It's just an open ended comment that will produce speculation. Nothing more. Previous folks said they saw a few -8s at PAE. Maybe they've been moved back inside if they are there. None are outside with atlas paint unless we're going into the Lufthansa passenger business.

No disrespect, but based on the rate at which they are hiring, 4-5 ain't much IMO. 5 per month is 60... For the whole year. If we believe one of the previous posters, the next 2 classes will total 42. We've already been hiring at a pretty good clip (hence the seniority list that has grown to 1044 from just over 1000) and all indications seem to be that it will continue. With the 4 added 767s for DHL, we already have growth, so one has to wonder what's driving the additional hiring? if they want to expand the airline, they need to have the bodies on property, a lesson they may have learned last summer when it was said by a management pilot that the company had to turn away business due to insufficient staffing. IMO, they don't want to repeat that situation, so I think they are plussing up in anticipation of adding business. What that business will be, who knows?

4-5 a month seems to be either an extremely conservative guess or just misleading information. If they wish to blow through that fat stack of resumes they are always bragging about to cover attrition then I guess that is their business. The stack will get thinner and when it does the people still left will be treated better so to keep the planes moving and shareholders happy.

The next class is 25 NH on March 30, they will run every three weeks thereafter for quite awhile. Size may vary due to a backlog on IOE.
