About half. Currently at about 55ish airframes and they've been telling ground school the (current) end state goal is about 120 airframes. They also have been saying the five year plan is to double the size of the airline.

I derived these looking at my stubs. I think these numbers are realistic, but other opinions are probably warranted
On short call reserve NOT volunteering to fly first, or taking any JAs:
...You'll probably average $150 to $200 / month if you try to avoid overnights in favor of turns.
...If you seek overnights probably average ~$250 to $300
If you put yourself on "want to fly" putting you first out every-time, you'll probably earn WAY more blood money, perhaps $400 or more.
Now once you can hold a relief line or hardline within 3, 4 or 6 months you'll have 50% to 75% of the rest of your first year clocking as much TAFB as your little heart desires. Say... 250 hrs or 300 hrs or (340
) X $1.90 ...Just run the math.

With all the talk about reduced hiring this winter, on July 14th, JP told our interview group that he was confused by this rumor, and that the rumor mill was the first he was hearing about any reductions in hiring.
Not sure if anyone has addressed this since then or brought up what he said on here.

Agreed. Class sizes were actually just increased from 24 a month to 28. The class sizes will vary, but there is not pause or "slow down for 6 months" anticipated at this time. Some 319's that are older will begin to be returned to lessors next year, but between now and Christmas the airline is also taking delivery of 6 new airframes- 4 321's and 2 320's.
Bottom line, if F9 is were you want to come work, please don't let message board rumors dissuade you. Growth and hiring for the rest of the decade.
(Speaking of Internet rumors, a little birdie told me there's a better than likely chance we could see an LAS base before 2016.)

Bid is out.
Jr CA 4/11 hire
Despite continued claims of DEN being shrunk, 3 CA left DEN and they allowed 1 backfill into DEN for a shrinkage of 2. Not sure why they'd allow 1 back into DEN when their stated goal is to shrink.

July class got MCO and they were still 2 shy meaning August's class will have at least 18 positions for MCO, unless current DEN/CHI FOs who didn't bid choose to for bid 11-2015.
I would expect the majority of new hires to go to MCO for the rest of the year.
