Just trying to assemble the puzzle pieces in hopes of a more accurate picture.

Someone has done the math on here, buried in some thread, that per current numbers and likely trends, we're fully staffed for the next 18 months or so. By that logic the company won't get serious about negotiating for another 36 months!

I assumed because it’s right in the middle of the holidays. Friend got offered this class or January. Yeah he’ll lose one month of seniority but whatever, they went with Jan. Any other month it wouldn’t matter, starting at the end of a month. But Dec 27 is more like the day you want to start a Christmas vacation, not fly across the country to start a new job all alone.

I continue to be impressed at the numbers we are hiring.

Not sure what Spirits hiring situation is?

Pretty bad from what I’ve been told. Unconfirmed.

Spirit is trying for 120/month. With people “no showing” and leaving during training, we are bringing on 75-90/month. 1 class starting each week.

We only netted 38 after attrition in November. They have to be as large as they can as we’re losing almost just as many.

A guy I flew with was quite a bit was sick of endless CA reserve and no calls. Went to spirit and was probably on IOE around this time a year ago. He already had a Legacy class date before his IOE was scheduled. Sounds crazy to hire 120 and net 40, but then I think back to that guy and it makes sense.

The “goal” is 120 but that’s not being achieved. The most they got in one month last year was 98 if I remember right.
