Hiring just 400 pilots by years end would require training 80 new pilots a month. I highly doubt that is possible to do all that new hire training plus do the recalls.

To get the pilots online, perhaps not! But hiring that many, potentially so. Honestly don't see this one as a possibility but I didn't expect full recalls before next spring either. There's no way the new recalls will help with the summer flying at this point so it definite makes one wonder what's going on.

Like BH said... cuz we extended 6 200's, got 4 700s, 2 200's and 40 pilots to nam.

I still find it amazing that many of us saw understaffing for this summer coming and management says they didn't. Without these items ASA was still understaffed, so I agree... something is cooking... but what? ta da DAAAAAAAA

Thanks to Freedom our block hours for December are the same as our block hours for July. That's why the furloughed guys/gals are being recalled. SH told me today that no hiring is expected until Jan. 2011 and that would be for 2011 summer flying. We don't even have a hiring department right now.
