Next A320s for 2012 are scheduled to come in: March, May, June, September and October. I would like to point out though that we have taken delivery typically two to three weeks after the scheduled delivery date set by Airbus. That may be the cause of confusion.

I think we are "crewing" 15 or 16 per ac. Upgrades at about 6-10 during normal conditions.
(I say normal), because there is some shuffling going on in the training dpt. We are out of airbus and going to PanAm I think..this plus the fact that we only have 3 more buses coming, 1 soon 2 in the fall may change upgrades and hiring a bit.
(but nothing is written in stone here)
20 more buses from the first order, 75 (minus the old 19s)...should put us around, (conservative numbers, and I dont have any kind of insight whatsoever), 50-70 UG a yr every yr till the last delivery.
Right now I think we are on MAR or APR 07 most jr CA. (keep in mind that we didnt hire past JUN or JUL 08 till 2010.
I think under 4.5 years for UG and shrinking...=)
Like I said there is a lot more info in (http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/ma...t-nks-347.html) with comments from guys that know a lot more.
3 yr fo is 66.38 or 73.12 hr avg 80 hr a month
5 yr ca is 115.00 or 136.00 avg 72 hr (rsv)
(I dont how accurate this is, since the rates change after DOS)
I just started my 5 yr here, im getting 82 hr.
Bottom line, its a great time to get in, at least for the next 4 yrs.

Hate to distract from the Delta TA 
, but what's late and great at Spirit these days? Mostly curious myself, but I imagine others are more seriously interested in Spirit. Thanks.
