It’ll be tuff to get to 600 at that rate.

I think that number got skewed at some point. 19-01 Posting said:

"This bid may create unfilled vacancies in some widebody aircraft that will allow new hires to be spread over multiple equipment types. With a need of over 600 incremental pilots over the next 12-18 months, the opportunities to advance in seniority and/or seat position should be readily apparent. Assuming current economic projections, upgrades to the left seat should remain robust over the next five years considering system form expansions and pilot retirements."

Then folks started saying 600 this year. I read that as 600 over the next 18 months, so still normal pace of 400/year as we've done for the last few years.

That math checks out.

Hey quick question. How is seniority determined in class and are they still hand picking the MD fleet?

Last four of your social. 9999 being most senior. MD is hand picked and start one day early with FDAs so senior to everyone that starts on Monday.

Nice to see new hires on the 767 in Memphis.

Did we have any in 2018?

Don't believe so. Maybe a few to HKG.
