I wish you well on getting hired. At the moment, I expect you may find it difficult to get any realistic info on forecast hiring for this year. There is so much going on here. With the loss of our founder, Mr. Chowdry, and the resultant restructuring, accompanied with a court decision against the company regarding a Union issue, and further complicated by customer issues*, I suspect that not a dammed person really knows what's going on. I also doubt you will find much regarding our routes, as that is company protected information. However, as we have a constantly changing customer base, the routes we fly today may not be the routes we will fly when you get hired. So, if you want to base your decision to fly here, I would suggest to focus on one very important factor.(..if there is a possibility of there only being ONE important factor..) and that is that your quality of life would be Largely determined by weather you live at your assigned base or not.
I hope this helps a little. Again, Good luck.
