I think it is reasonable.
They normally take on 15k this time of year due to the additional Christmas mail etc. This is fine.
The extra 15k is also fine, why should they have to pay people who have refused to work lots of overtime? In a recession to boot. Actually, it's an even better thing that they hire people for that very reason.
30,000 new jobs for people. Cool.
