Besides SWA, what other majors are having new hire classes

FL - going to hire over 200+ this year. But I'm hearing it will be half that next year.

FEDEX....hiring A300 FOs for HKG and 757 FOs for CDG..should start soon!

 

[The General]

I thought fedex wasn't going to hire for at least another year or two?

NWA hiring 300-350 in 2008

Heard from multiple sources... fedex CA for one that they are at least over manned by 150 pilots and that either furloughs are on the forcast or they can contractually be brought down to 48 hours to prevent furloughs... hope it's wrong. Due to soft domestic box demand.

Jetblue is slowing down but still plans on 5-6% growth this year. Haven't hired all those guys yet.
