If Gemini can execute well in 2005, 2006 looks very promising for additional equipment, contracts and new-hires.
We have hired about 50 folks since September.
For attrition, you may see the odd class through out the year, or they may build a pool of candidates to choose from.
Hope this helps.
As far as competitive minimums. The FOPM states 3000ttl with 1000hrs of PIC turbine. Granted we hired some folks from the S. Florida area who had no PIC turbine time. I have been told this has stopped.
