I'd like to know this as well.
GK has said 600. A dude I just talked to said he heard it could be as high as 900.
I think they're planning on training the majority before summer.
3 classes a month = 900/yr.

Since the job posting has been the same since March, I would suspect that it's been taken down to update some part of it for the new year. No word internally on when it will be listed again, but we will be hiring over 600 in 2016, so it probably won't be down very long.

Confirmed...
22 NH in Jan vacancy
77 NH in Feb vacancy
75 NH in Mar vacancy
616 is the number thrown around for 2016 total NHs...hmmm, that might be 20 classes of 26 and 4 of 24...which if you front load to have ~400 online before JA season--and still use neat math--would mean three classes for four of the months, then some pattern of alternating two/one class months...boom 616 NHs in 2016
If you think the TC cannot handle the flow, realize the recent months with three classes have not (fully) utilized the E period...but when E period is full (if only it were simulated circadian low) maybe the TC will be at capacity...
Just my 2 cents
(completely invalid if the Saudis stop pumping or non-ZIRP economy has a seizure)

I would tell your friends to go ahead and create their profile on swa.pilotcredentials.com and complete it since that takes much longer than the application on the website.
