Didn't they raise the # to 885 or so for this year?

A new class starts Tuesday the 12th. And then another Tuesday the 19th. Come on seniority!

I heard that too. Also 900-1000 next year. Who knows.

One class started today, I think another starts 9/19. Just heard Oct 3, 10, 17, and 24 as well.

Any good rumors as to why all the hiring? I'm not complaining but our fleet projections aren't showing the need...

More international, more red eyes, better reliability and utilization for the MAX than 300's, less premium pay?

I've heard all of those but I don't think anyone here knows.

Latest word is one more class in Sep (19th), 4 classes in Oct, 3 in Nov, and 2 in Dec. Around 915 hires this year. Prob about the same next year.

Delta is buying SWA and we'll be under DLA's staffing formula which is much more inefficient thus the need for all the hiring.

Ewwwwwwwww. Gross 😂

1300+ in 2018 I just heard from a friend in newhire
