EDIT: If you want exact numbers, the latest vacancy to close gave the most junior ORD spot to an October 2016 hire, with an effective date of March 2017.

Thanks for taking your time and answering my question.

I've heard as high as 79 potential planes on property at the end of 2017. If F9 gets favorable terms from the lessors to keep the planes, they will keep the planes.

Aren't they forecasting to hire 300-350 pilots this year?

hiring and upgrade numbers are always a floating number. much similar to the fleet size. since i have been here we have not grown a single frame.

I'm not drinking the kool aid, just repeating what J.N, J.C and J.P all said at one point or another last month.
I'm a nihilist at heart. It would go against my beliefs to actually put any faith in what management says.

I wouldn't trust a single thing they say. About ANYTHING. And that includes growth.

It's easy to tell when they are lying......

I get where you are coming from. I feel the same about a lot things at F9, but the last three years they have delivered on the hiring. Truth growth will start this year. Time will tell, but I haven't heard anything to even hint that they would cancel orders or be slowing hiring.
Hopefully they will deliver this year as well, now if they could get their act together where it counts. Yes, it's a moving target but the more airplanes on property the more money in their bank.
