We are still interviewing, but classes are on hold until further need and at a loss of about 30 pilot/mo., the 'new hire class freeze' would continue until we are at adequate staffing levels where hiring would start again to offset attrition.

The furloughs are probably going to be in line MX and the FA group as there is little attrition there.
