It is 20 a month from CPS and 9 a clas from Mesaba. Mesaba can actually flow more per year than CPS is classes are every two weeks.
CPS is limited to 25% of the list. Mesaba is not.

Shiz;
Lets make a wager. Do you think we will hire more or less than 240?
I hope 2011 is a banner year and they are scrambling with 100 a month in February!
I do not have all the answers nor all of the data, but 240 is uber conservative. My hunch is that we will see more than that, but we need to start with at least 240 and the reevaluate this Sept and then again in Dec, and March to the numbers needed for next summer and beyond.
Either way it will be conservative so that if the economy tanks we are not throwing bodies in the sea to save the ship. After 2011 it will at a min be a steady stream.
I am glad to see us doing this now. It show forward thinking and will allow the pipeline time to get the correct bodies in the correct seats.

We'll probably have a vague idea here in a few days when the AE comes out and a even better idea in a few weeks when the results follow.
If they close out MSP DC9, I'd say there would be a pretty good chance of commuting to DTW or LGA.
Glad your gamble is paying off. Will be happy to see you aboard in a few.

The irony is I always wanted northwest but was told they would never hire from the outside and new hires would onlu come from compost and mesabe. Then the day of my type nwa opens the app window and begins the process of hiring a 150. Now former co-workers get hired at nwa and I am locked into compost for 30 months. One thing that worked in my favor is that no hiring took place after those 150 at the old nwa and I had 3 years of rock star seniorty.... which may never happen again.

God I hope to be a age 55 guy.. my own personal reward for a 30 year career. Wish we had fire fighter like pensions
Should have said 30 years at the airlines and 20 at the majors... no, I am not 25. At 55 I hope to be harrassing the local beer cart ladies on the golf course. Hard work but with hard work I think I could be pretty successfull in this endeavor.

Exciting news! Let's hope we hire at least twice that!
I'm excited to see this AE. Dickson's memo talked about basically cancelling the push of bodies off the WB's to the NB's. Lots of reinstatements on this AE maybe??
