US Airways says it will likely be calling back 500 crew members in the coming year.

The airline says it will need to make the personnel moves to be able to cope with planned retirements and projected attrition. Company officials say they’ll start by recalling employees currently on furlough and can then proceed to hiring new crew members. The company expects to undergo its entire listing of flight attendants but it doesn’t be prepared to get throughout its list of pilots. The majority of the callbacks are required to become made by July.

In a written statement, US Airways President, Scott Kirby says, “We look forward to welcoming our colleagues to US Airways, and bringing new crew members onto they.” The company expects to grow international capacity by 8 percent n next season, which will also drive interest in crew member callbacks. In most US Airways is seeking to fill 420 flight attendant positions and 80 pilot positions. A spokesperson for the organization says when the recall and new hire process is complete, the airline will have approximately 4,970 active pilots and 7,300 active flight attendants.

The airline employs more than 31,000 individuals worldwide with hubs in Charlotte, N.C., Philadelphia and Phoenix.
