I'll second what Joe said. I talked to the recruiter the beginning of August and he said he'll be hiring 55 this month, and 20 per month (maybe he said 20 per class?) for the indefinite future. Jets are coming online and things are starting to move again. We are short staffed, we have airplanes sitting uncrewed and we need more people. I think the higher-ups are realizing this and trying to staff us sufficiently. Good news for everyone, more pilots, more jets, quicker upgrades, etc. Sounds good to me....
