I appreciate that as ex-NK

I say good on them for hiring within the fAAmily. The WO guys bust their asses every day down in the sAAlt mines and deserve their reward. I've worked in those mines and we didn't get crap to show for it. So good on them.
I fly out of a base (UAL) with a large amount of former SkyWest pilots. To be fair, every single one of the ones I've flown with have been top notch.

That seems to be the consensus at AS as well.

No, nothing is 100% confirmed as AA does not publically release that information. I have not seen any official statements from this company one way or the other. Pretty much everything is second or third hand information that originates from when Department leaders talks to new hire and upgrade classes. This information has been been wrong and changes often. I would still count on a break of somekind as it allows the training departments to catch up. During the mass hiring a couple years ago people were waiting 4 to 6 months between INDOC and Fleet Training.
