What's the deal with the annoucement you guys had on your last quarter results? I was unaware deliveries were delayed, so we can expect hiring stagnation sometime later this year? Whatever you guys think, thanks!

As hyperboy has mentioned, JB is still hiring this year on par with (possibly more than?) recent previous years. There is supposedly a need to hire to cover the new work/vacation rules and to address the staffing shortage that exists, so deferral of a few frames probably won't change much with regards to hiring this year. JB doesn't exactly have the training capacity to stagnate during 2019 and try to play catch up next year, as the number of training events between the 190/320/220 will be pretty high and JB is already approaching max capacity at the training center, so waiting based on these deferrals probably isn't a smart idea. Especially with the alleged CBA staffing increase need and already thin staffing. I'm not exactly sure what the delivery schedule will look like for 2019, 2020, and 2021 (the article mentions some specifics, but it will likely depend on the 321NEO backlog/production issues getting resolved).
Regarding the A220 shift, I don't think that will affect much, as I anticipate an overall 1 for 1 swap with the E190 initially as JB returns the leased E190s (30 of the 60), so no big net gain in pilots over that period will be required for the SNB. Whether or not they decide to keep some/all of the 30 owned E190s is TBD, but won't affect hiring in the short term, as no meaningful A220 deliveries start until 2021, and my bet is the E190 leases go back anyway during that time on a mostly 1 for 1 basis.
Just my guess though, I have no firsthand info.

Just my guess.
