5 have arrived and are nearly on line (all in line training now). 6 more are in Toulouse (or just getting back this week). The third class has 1 in Toulouse, coming back in the next 2 weeks. A 4th class of 6 has started to arrive in JED getting ready to jump through all the BS (oooops, I mean hoops) to get ready to go to Toulouse. That is a total of 18 so far.

The numbers I hear from an IP last week are 100+ Captains total (so 80+ to go) and they have tentative approval for 70 F/Os, but haven't even started thinking about recruiting for that yet.

The other hot rumor is that they're talking to a crew leasing company (in Kuwait) about shirt term (1-2 years) staffing for the 320 until they get the MD-90 guys transitioned over. So, who knows how many ex-pats they really want/need...
