Not true. Wasn't true when people stated that over a year ago and not true today.
Yes, hiring is continuing. But I can tell you that we are not losing 100 pilots a month due to retirements, nor have we been adding 100 pilots to the bottom of the seniority list each month.
50 is actually closer to the real number~

Just to back up what you mentioned, at OBAP in August one of the actual recruiters mentioned UAL is planning to hire 1200 pilots in a 20 month period. Doing the math on that it comes to 60 a month. I'm sure those numbers could fluctuate up or down depending on factors, but definitely not the 100 a month across the board that we all would hope.
Just thought I'd share.
