From a recent class that O talked with. HR is tasked with having a new hiring format up and running by Jan. 1. Any app that hadn't been updated in two years will be purged. They said they do notice who had been updating. Poolies number 30. They may have to come in and meet with HR or O to get reacquainted due to the time that has passed. Hiring 100-150 starting in the spring. Not sure if that number is in addition to pros, corporate and poolies. I hope so! Said there are 8-900 guys that are eligible to retire. He said this should be the start of a good hiring wave. No more meet and greets. You will be able to sponsor someone but will hear about it if they screw up. He only wants solid recommendations. You may be required to mentor them after they are hired. Not sure what that entails. Said they are looking at the A330 or the 777pax conversion as a MD-10 replacement. Hong Kong MD-11 base sooner than later. Europe will be SIBA for now. Still hoping to get a crew base in the "Cologne area." Need a new LOA or contract for that to happen. He said before this gets posted on the net to clarify that this info is good as of yesterday and subject to change.
...internals & poolies first
...new externals as soon as March
I don't see folks going straight to HKG domicile unless they have another internal bid first and can't fill it --- that's why/how they put the Purple Nuggets direct into ANC in 2006.

Actually, there is some talk of all the new hires, including internals, going straight to the right seat of the 757. That's one word on the street...
...gearing up for 12-16 new hire 727 Second Officer students starting in January.

That would have passover pay implications for at least 90-100 guys...and maybe more depending on how they would enact such a plan.Not sure why the company would do that after all their efforts in the past 18 months to get rid of passover pay among the junior ranks.There were no unfilled 757 FO slots on the last bid.They are preparing for 12-16 SOs to go thru initial training in Jan.

I don't know that they would do it in the near term, but barring changes to the way our cba is written, wouldn't you expect this exact scenario to occur in the future as long we're hiring steadily? The company loves their big bids and training letters and with no current limits on when one must be trained after receiving an award this seems inevitable at some point.
