3-4 per month. I think they now start on Tuesday. Around 28 per class.

Hiring around 900 this year and 1000 next year.

494 hired this year so far, including the 7/18/17 class. Don't know how many of those are still employed at SWA.

Hiring projection from SWAPA shows 292 more new hire slots for the remainder of the year.

So it looks like it'll be close to 786 new hires for 2017.

Remaining New Hire Slots per month
AUG 2017 - 100
SEP 2017 - 48
OCT 2017 - 72
NOV 2017 - 48
DEC 2017 - 24

Yup. The only thing that makes sense to me is a flood of red-eye flights (like a hundred per night off the West Coast).

3 of the 4 Tuesday's in September and 4 of the 5 in October would be a pretty strong guess.
