I just looked back at the last few flow plans that are published about every two weeks...in total over the last four flow plans, 11 people either resigned,released or retired...four flow plans would be about two months worth, so doing the math = 6/month either voluntary or booted.

Really, the word I've been hearing is they are still blocking overtime, and are soon to start negotiating another round of long term leaves...
Is OT still blocked? if it is, that's a pretty good indication of overstaffing.
AA reported another 13+% drop in load factor, so expect capacity reductions. If AA reduces, Eagle will have to as well to remain under their set percentage of flying.
I don't have a crystal ball, but people have confirmed that overtime is being blocked, so I tend to think that hiring will not resume anytime soon. Plus word from the Dark Fortress is that Eagle sent a bunch of instructors back to line flying. So, based on all that, when I do the math I don't see any hiring anytime soon.
