Hiring wont just stop, it will slow down but wont stop. You people need to relax. We were doing 64 a month that cant go on forever.

200 is better than zero.

They are simply going to have to pay their dues like the rest of us. I sure hope their SJS will survive the wait

. Sadly, I will not be losing any sleep on their behalf.

Okay, this is my take...I have been flying for XJT for about 7 years. As many of you know, we're going to stop taking new airplanes in 2006. CAL and others will only keep the attrition rate as a trickle come April. I believe that the hiring will begin to slow in June or July.

We are still understaffed, but with that being said, we've been understaffed since I got hired.

I have the opinion that anyone hire this year will have "Eagle" like expectations for their advancement. BUT, anything can change. You never know.
