Rumors around Airtran were January, but that was Skywest, lol. Now there is talk about Pilot hiring in April.

Anyone else have expected Pilot hiring info at their Major Airline?

airlines - first to tank, last to recover

Looks like some business is coming back with last months figures, but there are A LOT of furloughees to call back before hiring starts.

Just ask the United folks.

Looks like great news! Where can I sign up for one of Kit Darby's seminars? I have a lot of friends at Song. I need to get my application ready!

Excellent. With all your flight time and experience you're perfect for throwing bags and servicing lavs!
And who are you kidding, you have NO friends!:laugh:

What you actually believe what USA today says, all it is another tabloid newspaper. Take what they report the unemployment rate is 10 percent and multiply it times 2. Maybe people are spending money but the jobs are still going away.

Does everyone realize that someone who's unemployment runs out, is officially no longer unemployed?

Not to mention the seasonal help that many large corporations hire.

Our manufacturing base has been mostly shipped over seas, the tech jobs are following. Not everyone can work at mega mart hocking made in China stuff.

Sure wall street will fluctuate, making the poor CEO's very happy, but the tax base... IE, us, has been and continues to be devastated.

The chickens are coming home to roost. Welcome to the new world order.

Good point, I've heard the same.

Watch what employment data does after the holidays. Might not be good news.

George Bush's chickens have been coming home to roost for awhile alright.
I'm not an economist and no one on here is. I'm guessing a lot of people get their info from cable TV and talk radio. I don't care if you are on the right or left, most of public opinion is as a result of people listening to some pundit that supports their preconceived notions. Unfortunately, many of those people make crap up, it's quite possible Beck is the biggest liar of them all and yet he has a huge audience and best sellers.
As far as Government spending goes, the only thing I know is:
1) It is what kept the current crisis from being worse than it already is according to economists way more qualified to make that call than any cable TV or radio pundit.
2)The reason this economy didn't crash as bad as 1929 is because the mistake we made in 1929 was when the economy retracted, the Government cut back on spending, making matters much worse according to Kenesian economics.
3) What a joke it is when people call Obama a socialist. It may be a very emotional tag to put out there, but our Government policies are hardly socilalist. We are still a great country, we will get through this and prosper and at some point the airlines will be hiring like crazy. Airline hiring has always been a very cyclical deal.
