How many new-hires next year? I think I read somewhere else 800? Is there much of a pool like Delta?

Not much of pool----other than just enough to keep the weekly classes filled with a very small buffer.

There have been "official" statements on both sides of that number but the one consistency has been the intent to hire as many as can be reasonably trained. As with anything, that number is fluid and changes hourly due to both internal and external factors.

Small pool indeed, we don't have flows so we can hire who we want and put them in class right away!!

Thanks

My app has been in for 3 years, still not a peep. Others get called within a few months... so it varies quite a bit.

It was like that 35 - 40 years ago when I started the app process. Hasn't changed except for digitization and the web. Back then none of us knew exactly how the app pile was stacked. I wish all aspiring...the best.
