So if past practices hold it will be about 250.
They always over promise on the new hires. The only year I ever remember them meeting the hiring goal was the year AA and Delta both called back and we had like 150-200 people leave.

Any educated guesses on which aircraft and bases might be offered to new hires? A JFK and BOS-heavy mix of all types, or have all the recent bids shown a big need in one type or base?

since we basically had to redo the Phase II check, did you get a new background check complete message from HireRight before they called you?

I haven't even done my drug screen yet, they sent the forms yesterday at the same time they sent the "we're aiming for June or July" email.

I know one of the emails mentioned that we wouldn’t be doing the drug test until they knew what class we would be in. But subsequent emails made it sound like they would be doing more significant hiring than exists in our current pool. Hopefully we get picked up sooner than later.

There are currently 53 190 vacancies that need to be filled, according to a recent leadership lunch, probably between BOS and JFK.

Those 53 190 vacancies came straight from the mouth of CL, FWIW

Nice! That’s definitely going to take a while. They’ve been slowly bringing back people to requal; May schedule is pretty much done and many people still not scheduled. Part of the 39 new hires from last year are scheduled and new instructors coming on board as well. I’ll happily take another month off
