We're a little heavier on CAs than FOs. This was intentional, for some reason. A lot of reserve CAs have been called to sit right seat, and on a constant basis. Not sure of upgrades or hiring, but as far as I know, neither are happening, as of now. There may be rumors out there that I'm not aware of. Potential hiring? I believe we still have to bring back the 14 we sent home, before they completed training. Like I said, I may be a little out of the loop.

I really don't think they'll be hiring soon. The STL operation is on the verge of being shut down. Bids are out now for a replacement.

If GLA was going anywhere, it would have been long gone. GLA isn't going away any time soon.

Actually, the "STL has been shut down" rumor has been going for about a year and a half now, and it's still there. Nothing has happened yet, though. Nothing really new around here, we're just all waiting for our time...
