From the Council 1 meeting this month:

"Hiring: We anticipate a nominal amount of hiring in 2014; currently estimating 60 per month January-June, then 20 per month."



So, if the above is true (?), there would be 360 newhires from Jan-Jun, and then 120 from JUL-DEC, for a possible total of 480 in 2014. Some may ask why not start sooner? I think the training dept will be slammed with outgoing DC9 pilots transitioning to other planes, initial 717 crews will be trained, and many people in between are moving from plane to plane. So, IMO, the sims will be full this year. Throw in a possible used widebodies coming (rumor) which will cause more internal training, and things will be busy for awhile. Then throw in tons of retirements over the next 3-5 years.

You can expect interviews in the fall for positions in the first quarter of 2014. Many of these positions will be filled by flow-ups.
 
Hey Genny,
Will you walk my resume in?
On second thought, I will have a bowl of broken glass for breakfast......

Any chance for an average mil heavy dude with plenty of letters of rec getting a shot or will this end up being mostly flow throughs and whatever deal Pinnacle gets?
