Good evening folks,

Any update on the hiring forecast? Heard they are conducting a oct GS, is there anything planned for later on this year?

Sunwing hired 42 during April and May. Two classes of 10 out of 49 to be hired this fall are going through training right now. So 29 more applicants to be hired and to start training soon. We received a recent memo stating we will have non-stop hiring in the next 12 to 24 months.


Good Luck!!

Any carrier that has early start/late start long duty days will be affected by the proposed FTDT rules likely to come in to effect early in 2019.

SW and all other affected carriers will have 2018 to get staffed up. I heard that SW estimated a 17% impact on crew efficiency.
