Good news! I hope the hiring keeps up! Lots of good people are applying, and hopefully the interviews continue. At this rate, the March class guys might even hold lines by summer. All it takes is 20-30 below you in SFO.

Not much to be talked about I guess. Everyone is waiting on numbers from forth quarter to be published. Hiring continues to cover attrition. New coo started recently, he's been pretty quiet. New pay rates started in April. Capts got $9 and fo's got $5 across the board. Few new cities are launching. Aus, ANC, and sjc.

That about covers current events.

It's still gonna be a loss but much less than less than last year. Rumor is single digit millions. But have not spoken directly to anyone in the know.

The 4th quarter numbers should be released before May 12 when the DOT releases airline 4th quarter results.

First couple of classes didn't even cover attrition, net gain zero. Also know of at least 5 more getting ready to exit stage left, heading for Jetblue. Some great people, sorry to see them leave. New hires seem to be coming from the regionals mostly, plenty of koolaid drinking going on. Lower time, big heads, get what you pay for. Nothing that can't be taken care of.

15 upgrades in the fall, probably for expectation of FAR change in January, possible additional crews in JFK area.

Rumors of more airplanes and accelerating orders.

Blah, blah, blah.
