8-10 interviews yesterday. No more Interviews this year, only referals.
100-130 next year. 5 new buses next year, more after that.

For those waiting for a call, this is normal around DEC, all shutdown by the 20th untill the end of the year.

From JH in recurrent this week...

5000 hours chopped from original plan for next year due to fuel prices on the rise. Still have five buses coming, 1 Jan 2 Feb 1 Nov 1 Dec. We turned down an ac this month...couldnt staff it. Hiring was planned for over 100 next year, looks like that number may come down to "around" 100, but still hiring full steam ahead for the first half of the year to bring staffing levels up and staff the 3 new birds in Jan/Feb. All still looks good but sounds like they have their hands on the panic button should oil break the 110-115 range....sound familiar?

Bored...I had a friend interview with the second group and made it into the pool. I would think he wouldn't have 12 in front of him and he hasn't been called with a class date yet...was told to expect end of Jan/beginning of Feb.

It sounds like they need to get rid of the $9 Fare Club and make a $10 Fare Club or how about the $69 Fare Club with mile high privileges starting above 5280ft agl. those lucky Spirit Mastercard holders?

Here is the latest info I have on the A320 for December. It did its first flight on the 13th and left Toulouse for Hamburg for the paint job and interior. Only the tail was painted in Toulouse so its definitely ours. Not 100% sure as to when the acceptance flight will take place but it shouldn't be long. Delivery hasn't changed for February and March. Still 2 in February and 2 in March.

I am beginning to think that the airplane you are talking about for Dec is the same airplane the company is talking about for Jan. Is it possible the delivery date is set for early Jan? Also you say we are sched for 2 more in March...that would be great, hope its true!

Yes it is possible. The system showed all along a delivery date of December 15th but I was told yesterday the A320 in question is not done. It is definitely ours. No question about it. We are getting those 4 next year. Beyond that is a question mark.
