Attrition to continue to 4200 pilots, by Summer. Then perhaps hiring commences to hold that number. Heard it at training.

RP (757 training manager) came into our recurrent class last month and said he was told no hiring AT ALL in 2014. Period.

(just repeating what he said)

If your in the pool at FedEx without apps in at delta, American, united, you need to get busy.

I heard from a guy in the pool that talked to John r within the last 2weeks that he (John r) is being told that its at least a year before classes start.

So we are so overstaffed, that they put out a memo telling mil guys not to take leave during peak. Go figure.

We're so overstaffed they are buying back 757 vacations (I "think" that means Advance Volunteer is available also?).
