Good news for those of you interested in mainline. The latest is that there will be 2 classes of 20 new hires in February and March for a total of 80 new pilots in addition to the expectation of 1 class per month for the rest of the year. That is a total of 260 guys needed by the end of 2006. Good luck to all.

Where did you hear that? There's nothing on the ops website on this. With the current backlog in training I can't see them trying to put 40 people through in a month.
