Just want to know how those out there in the trenches see it!

37 were 135, and a slightly larger number were 140's.... perhaps the 80 number you were thinking of... but the vast majority were 145's as I recall.

Talk to A.O. in the recruitment dept. Hiring to continue indefinitely. Started at 750 apps now they are down to only 400. With no end in sight for hiring that spells shortage coming up this time next year. Look for positive changes with AA and AE in the future.
