Hope you're correct. Thanks

Any idea on what the hiring numbers are for this year? Not to set off the "look back 25 pages for the answer guy" but any rough estimate on the wait-time to get back to MSP in the 900, if hiring continues as projected? Also, I am still a few weeks out on my class date, but is there anything I can be doing study wise now to help the transition?

Thanks!

So far this month I know they have atleast 33 pilots. There are 21 or so in my class that started Nov 2. And another 12 or 14 thay started today. We are all still waiting on base assignments.

Nope, don't worry about studying anything. They teach you what you need.

Yep ... bring a good work ethic and attitude and you'll be fine.

Well, according to AlaskaBound 1-4 pilots per class, so maybe 30-50 this year?

I'm curious as to where these numbers are coming from. Classes are running 20-30 per class, and have been so since earlier this year when DL got serious about us being able to hire. The 2016 plan is 350-450 new hires last I heard. 15-06 is due out this week and like farmlover, I'm hearing good movement in the vacancy.

Ugh, que the negative replies from Md11, Shy, and farm

Silver was being sarcastic...

Hope it's better "movement" than 15-05.... After comparing November schedules to the December mock bids, would you like to revise your comments about 10 years should be off reserve? If it's more movement like 15-05, I'd rather pass.
