I have heard more than one rumor of that sort from sim guys...I stopped believing them a long time ago, especially the outrageous ones.

If you're talking about KA, I just talked to him a few days ago and he didn't mention anything about 130 new A/C...

130 AC is'nt going to happen.. All at risk!! don't think so... My guess is they will run small classes of 16 or less a month.. The days of 70 a month are over....

Right now they are only talking about 2 classes of 8 CA's and 8 FO's (16 total/class), with one in February and one in March. Currently there’s no talk of anything beyond that.

As for the a/c for airTran...................not going to happen.

Of course it's worth it to apply. We all had to at one point and although it looks like nothing will happen quickly for someone in your situation you still want to get you name in the hat if your interested in SKW.

It probably doesn't hurt to add your resume to the pile. But there are so many people with a higher priority for getting a class than people who are currently on the street I certainly wouldn't hurt myself to get something in quickly.
