Houston is a pain in the ass to commute from, period. I'm SFO based and 99.9% of the time, commute from Austin. However, this one time at band camp, there were approx 69 folks on the commute list - and I was #57, with 7 folks listed for the JS in front of me.
From what I could tell, this was consistent to LAX as well.
No thanks...

How many letters of rec did most applicants have? I’m at 2, a job fair and up to date on airlineapps with some consulting done to my app. 7000tt, 3000 tpic, heavy time and mostly international. All 121. Trying to gauge my competitiveness and see what else I can do to get a call.

I commuted from IAH to LAX for a couple of years. Pretty easy commute. Lots of flights, no weather delays, numerous airlines (UAL, AA, Spirit, and SWA to hobby if needed). IAH-SFO would be a nightmare for a junior commuter I'd imagine.

Does this mean hiring should be increasing dramatically? My thoughts on the job fair less than a week away is that it’s a blanket quick interview and most people will get a interview from it. There’s 600 attendees, maybe a third go somewhere else that’s at least 400 interviews, maybe half or so get the job that’s 200-300 people in class...3 months worth?

Maybe, maybe not. But it does look promising.
1) FWIW, Hiring is already aggressive, and has been since the beginning of summer. This was a major improvement to the plan to wait until fall.
2) This is only a single vacancy bid. With ~450 retirements a year there will be movement and bids like this one. It's the combination of bids that tell the story, and not just a single one.
