I think we run some holiday specials that time of year. There are a lot of weird flights before and after T-day and Xmas.

Speaking of weird holiday specials...

You're welcome.

Next AE
 

Anyone hear any rumors when we will see the next AE?

Has anyone heard what the final count was on the early out program? I don't recall seeing anything but I drink beer and miss things. ;-)

I saw something last week and it was 20ish I think. Almost all were 74 guys. I can't recall the exact numbers but I remember being underwhelmed. I drink beer too.

I hear hiring has been approved Apr-Dec next year of 70 a month. :) Way more than 70 through April.

That is great news, if true. That's growth hiring, IMO.

Bidpacks finally out, they waited until the absolute last contractual minute this month.
ALVs are very high. 80hrs for many. Surprising for Dec.

I do not believe that a final number will be available until the revocation period closes on November 14.

Pilot Hiring guy (interviewer) said yesterday (in van on way to GO), 115 per month until April. Then may taper off. April to December 2015 has not been solidified yet. Virginia Ave is very, very busy.... New Hire FAs are good looking (females, that is... didnt pay attention to the others)
