Spirit: 300?
Jetblue: 200?
American/UsAir: ????
United: 600
Frontier? Alaska? Hawian? Atlas?
Who am I forgetting? Any idea on the #s for USAir/American?
Roughly 2000-2500 is my best guess...if so, that equates to approxomately 10% of the regional pilots...20%ish of the CAs...25%+ of hireable CAs who want to leave. These #s are guestimates at best...feel free to correct/disagree
UPDATE:
USAA: 600
Frontier: 200ish
So, as far as we can tell from plans, around 3500 will be hired...good, but not great...the last major hiring boom I remember is 2007...anyone know the approximate # hired at that time?
