The plan for 2009/10 is just about done ( fleet update today )
No interviews til june
Enough Poolies to fill slots this year but bottom poolies could side downwards when interviews start. You do get graded and listed top to bottom depending on how you did durring the interview and your flying background.
Upgrades will slow but this has not been the first time there has been a slow down in hiring. Last time was fall 04, those guys on the bus just upgraded.
2400 pilots now you need 4800 to upgrade, dont think the plan as we know it( lonely line guy) has that many.
DEC's. hope not but will happen, bitching about does you no good
More bad news to follow im sure
I think training is down 60% for this coming year 2009/10
