Last night I emailed a young friend is California hoping to meet up for lunch or dinner when I am over there in a couple of month's time. His response this morning included the following:

According to my sources they did hire a group for the proving runs but they have not yet been through training yet and he is part of the first big wave of new hires. The intention is to hire about 44 crew members per month.

I am informed that the initial route will be to JFK but no other details. LAS is among the cities to be opened within 9 months and they are already hiring for management there.

Perhaps we could get Scrooge to consider a role as Vegas station manager!
