The 260 have been hired. Classes are supposed to go through April for new hires. Potentially more will be hired this summer. The limfac is capacity at the training center. This is according to a few that I spoke with in the People Department.

I guess I'm just trying to ascertain if the plan is still 260 new-hires for 2014. Kind of ironic that they're hiring pilots now when they're planning on paying AirTran pilots to sit at home in the beginning of 2015.

Perhaps the 260 for 2014 have already been hired, BUT they haven't ALL been put through training, correct?

This is the 260 they had told us they were hiring. The summation is that any additional hires would likely come from a new hiring window.

I was 1 of the last 5 people interviewed. They told us when our interview was done, that would be it for this "window". I interviewed on Jan 23rd, was hired about a week later. I did my DOT drug screening shortly after and now I am waiting on a class date. When we interviewed we were told to expect the last class for this window which is April 30th. We may get an earlier class if some people couldn't fill it.

Not all trained yet. New hire classes through April. At least 4 of us from the day of our interview (mid Jan.) are still waiting on a class date and there were 5 or 6 more days of interviews after us.

The 260 are to cover reserve for the summer months due to 117. When former air trans transition (after sitting) first quarter 15, we will be staffed properly. Unless there is actual "net" more flying due to increased aircraft utilization or non "flattish ness". Basically, couldn't transition the fats, move aircraft to Delta and convert 737's all by beginning of summer to have proper staffing
