Well neighbor, my AirTrain currently furloughed pilot friend and I spoke earlier in the week.
Yes, they are accepting applications.
Yes, they will be hiring this year.
However, there are still furloughed AirTran pilots on the street that need to go to recurrent, check-rides, etc. before any new hires start.
I believe the info provided by my furloughed AirTran friend is a little more reliable than some blogs, etc.
