A couple guys coming back from furlough returnees, a few coming back from LOAs, 4 FTIs (fleet technical instructors) and approximately 20 new hires. Mock bid was done today, looks like the first two will take the 737 EWR, and everyone else will be on the a350

A350?
I assume you meant A320, if not, those guys are the luckiest bastages ever who will get to be paid sitting at home waiting for aircraft to arrive in probably 3ish years!

They can't release current pilots to training unless they have new pilots coming in behind them. There has been a lot of movement on the 737 but almost all of it is lateral and requires no training. On the other side almost all the CA upgrades and movement into the 737/777 have come from the 320. In order to upgrade the CAs and 777 FOs we need we have to put new hires on the 320. They can hold the 737 pilots tell the last day of the bid and then activate them without training and that is exactly what they will do.
