CAL Hiring Outlook

[Mike Ditka]

With the summer slowdown coming to an end, does anyone have the CAL hiring outlook and fleet breakdown for the classes?

have heard from 450-700 from September-March time frame from a check airman I flew with the other day...didn't have any info on what fleet, but I would guess most will be 737

I had heard it was really gonna pick up and continue at that rate for the next 3 years. I wonder if they're still handing out the numbers to new hires in indoc. Bueller?

Dont know much about CO so dont know how this announcement yesterday will play into things:

Continental reports 15.2% rise in income, scales back growth

Friday July 20, 2007
Continental Airlines posted second-quarter net income of $228 million, up 15.2% over a profit of $198 million in the year-ago quarter, on a 5.8% lift in revenue to $3.71 billion.
Chairman and CEO Larry Kellner said the result was achieved despite a "tough domestic revenue environment" that has led the carrier to scale back its planned 2008 mainline capacity growth from 5%-7% to 3%-4%. "We expect the domestic environment. . .to continue to exhibit low yields," he said, pointing to the 25 additional aircraft projected to be deployed by US LCCs in the second half of 2007. He added that 2007-08 growth will be focused on CO's international network.

Won't make a difference at all. It's just a shift of business direction. Slow domestic, increase international.

and the contract propaganda machine continues to curn out the BS.
