And that's after 3 years of stagnation and only 200 or so hired in 6 years of mostly stagnation. Continuous hiring (if it ever finally occurs) is an entirely different situation. MSP, CVG, SLC and even SEA/LAX spots will go to new hires in the coming years. A few in class, and a lot more after the 1 year freeze depending on AC. Constant hiring makes bidding magic happen and dramatically "unstacks" the stovepipe that stagnation creates.
