My guess is Eagle will be hiring at some point in 2009.
If and when the other regionals like RAH and SKW start hiring, Eagle will as well, because something like 1/2 of our FO attrition has been to career-developing regionals.
Also, if AA recalls, the anticipated 90% deferral rate could possibly mean that Eagle flowthru pilots will start leaving, and this would generate a lot of movement here.
Hiring in the near future is unlikely. Everyday, we have at least 30-40 FO's sitting home reserve at DFW and ORD..............each.
From the company's standpoint, if we have even 1 pilot sitting at home on reserve, unused on even the dead-est of days, we are grossly fat on staffing.
Hiring during the summer at the earliest I think, unless RAH or SKW start hiring sooner.
