Now that Elliot has their foot in the door. I don't think there's going to be any hiring. Why would we, we have to get cost under control first and in Wall Streets world that means cutting. If anything in the short term, I think we might actually see the airline shrink. I think we will see upgrades next year going to 12 to even 15 years possibly on the long end. The artificial boom COVID created is over.

When I said 5 years for my class to upgrade based on aircraft deliveries, retirements and projected hiring, people thought I was nuts... and this was before the MAX grounding. Lo and behold, on my 7th year anniversary, I was in upgrade class.
Our hiring and upgrades are tied to MAX 7. When the FAA clears it, that's when the music resumes. Meanwhile, the world is a much better place when trolls and idiots are placed on ignore list.

Time will tell. The Corporate raiding has not even begun, but give it time. These wall street folks know only one thing and only one thing matters to them and that is how much money will they be able to take from SWA. Article belows says SWA is quoted as saying the airline will end with 2000 less employess than last year. Does not sound like growth to me.
Southwest will limit hiring and drop 4 airports after loss (spectrumlocalnews.com)

Reading doesn't seem to be your strong suite, does it?
Here, let me make this part BOLD for you:
When I said 5 years for my class to upgrade based on aircraft deliveries, retirements and projected hiring, people thought I was nuts... and this was before the MAX grounding.
The MAX was grounded for 2 years.... Not Nostradamus, but maybe half a clue about math, logic and some reading comprehension is really all it takes.
