Hey, here's some news!
We normally don't do any training or hiring during December. We trained and hired through last December, no problem...
As of this week, the new hires on the MD are getting up to one month off between the fixed based sim portion of training, and the full motion beasts in SDF, ATL, or soon to be MIA and Montreal.
We are VERY short FOs in the SDF MD base....
So, in a nutshell, the training center pipeline is jammed, another realignment bid is coming out in six weeks (the senior 747 classic guys will move to other jets, and everyone hired after 9/06 will be forced to ANC), which will only jam up the limited resources of the training center some more....
We're still very short FOs in SDF....
Don't expect us to begin hiring in earnest for a while again.

Those 767 are coming in the FALL of 2009. I dont see hiring until summer 2009. With or without the age 60 thing. We are technically shrinking this year and next. We parked 15 or so 727. Parking approx. 12 747's. And some DC-8's. And Three man crews to two. Plus ANC and the IRO's. It going to be all Realignment bids, not Vacancy bids.
I hope I'm wrong.
