A permanent increase in flying?..or just the usual summer increase plus a couple?

Well I would assume it is a permanent increase. The reason I would suspect that is anyone hired next month wont be online until middle July at best case. They wont be done with IOE until the start of August. Comair has one of the longest initial training schedules in the industry.

Number I was told IF and big IF plans for comair are approved, would be in the range of 40 a month, so thats pretty accurate.

Is that number for new hires, I assume? What about upgrade classes? What are the plans? What is your name? What is your favorite color? What is the air speed-velocity of an unladen swallow?

New hires = yes
upgrades= 36 in cvg more to follw
plans= unknown other than growth
name= luke skywalker
color= depends on mood
the European Swallow with bird species of similar body mass, I estimate that the swallow beats its wings 18 times a second with an amplitude of 18 cm
Of course thats the European swallow, you also have the african but you weren't specific.
I would estimate the airspeed of the European Swallow to be roughly 11 meters per second (15 beats per second )
