Also keep in mind, after this AE there are:

834 ATLM88A's
448 ATLM88B's

Just a slight imbalance. I'm sure there are many others as well, but probably not nearly this large.

It's easy to tell from looking at the numbers the vast majority of new hires will be Atlanta MD88.

They have a whole year to make it that way.

Probably 6-10 per class. Or whatever capacity is in the sims.

They sent all the 88 pilots early for CQ in July. I was in my first month and tried to avoid recurrent in July. No luck. They are getting ready for full sims this summer and fall on the 88.

I would expect you're right. But with four classes a month at 6-10 per class I don't know if they can do more than 40 a month on the 88.
