Not saying you are inaccurate, but remember last year when we were hiring like crazy and they said it wasn't for any new aircraft, then announced 7 new airplanes for United. Because the company is privately held things are held very close to the vest, so I wouldn't expect management to say anything about new planes before it's officially announced. That being said, what you are saying could be absolutely correct. Just a lot of curious things going on right now. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

You could be right as well. Years at TSA with one positive announcement among years of disappointment has probably jaded me slightly. I really don't think any airline can afford to stop hiring. Is there a regional out there that isn't hiring at the moment? Even if well staffed, if an airline stops hiring it might be tough to get guys to come back again.

Latest rumor I heard today was base opening in July, initially 10 positions. Kinda interesting we're starting an ORD base just as Chautauqua is ending American Service on August 15.

Excuse the ignorance of this post, I've read the majority of the post here and have a few questions if someone has some time.
I'm interviewing with TSA in a week or two, the letter said business casual. What's the definition of business casual they are looking for. I don't want to be over dressed and I don't want to seem like a bum.
Also, what's your contract like? Cancelation pay? Rig pay? Is it still easy to hold a line out of training? How commutable are the lines?
Thanks
