Koolaid, I am still waiting myself. Looks like they have gone the way of the Southwest deal. I know at one point we had 3 pretty solid growth plans that are on hold for now as our major partners figure things out.

Care to share what the other 2 were?

Nope, like I said my foot is staying far away from my mouth for now. ;)

Wavit, thanks for clearing things up! I had hope since we were supposed to continue to hire, but things are looking bleak with classes cancelling.

I still have some hope. It is not unSkywest like to not hire until right when a big announcement is to come out. IF one does I don't think it will be until late 3rd to 4th Q this year.

Last I heard it had slowed to 10-15 a month. I think more people are staying put until things at the majors look more solid. Plus with Southwest not hiring that takes a bunch of people out. Most of our attrition was to Southwest.

I moved up 19 spots this past month. I was surprised.

Hey wavit,
Think I have it figured out now who you are. Initials JP? So how is this slowdown going to affect me in the bro getting back to slc?

That's my guess as well

This is how it is for now. Staffing levels are back up where they want them and they don't want over staffing. That being said don't be surprised for something to come up and have the flood gates reopened for several months at a moments notice. If they keep interviewing and fill the pool I would not let this keep you from applying. As for right now we are in wait and see mode.

Is this just new hire classes or are the jet transition classes going away for awhile as well? I have my bid in for transition, wondering how its going to affect me.
