Hiring for attrition no doubt.

At this time, it doesn't appear that the hiring window is open, is this correct?

Any rumors of new domiciles to go along with the LGA slots?

Haven't heard anything. They are being very quiet about the LGA slots.
If we are able to use them, I would assume that it would become part of the New York base. You would have to report to JFK, EWR, or LGA to start and end your trips.

Since we can't do trans-cons out of LGA, they have to get gate space in ORD or DFW or FL to handle whatever we do out of LGA.

It seems the hiring window is closed but it'll most likely open up in Spring.

It's gonna open back up soon. Word is they're gearing up for 60+ (6/mo) this year with the first class starting in March.

I hope you're right. I'd like to get off reserve. A friend of mine in the pool recently got the pee test email.

An excellent source that's been spot on with any information passed to me. It was later reconfirmed from another highly reputable source. It is my understanding that it's partly for attrition, which means the rest is to cover an increase in flying.
