That is interesting Middlepath, I have not heard that. A couple days ago, I was told by an upper management guy that AJV will continue to hire for the rest of this year and throughout next year as well.
Coolio,
I wish I could help you out on that one; it doesn't sound as though you will want to get your 57/67 time the way I got mine: grinding throught the airline system for 22 years, first at a regional carrier and then at a major before I finally got lucky and landed here. Maybe someone else will have a better suggestion
