I've heard everything from 115-125/mo for the next year. It appears they are behind the power curve as they started hiring later than desired and are now trying to catch up. I believe it will taper back eventually to 400-500/yr rate once they get caught up to where they need to be.
Retirements don't start ramping up until 2017....why the drastic increase in pilot end strength? What is the current total? Must be over 12,500.
