That looks like 230% more from flows than off the street this year alone.
The rules of the game are changing. You can play the old way and chase rumors of quick upgrades, or you can see the direction the legacy carriers will be moving in. WO is where new people should be headed. Right now PDT and ENY are the best choices; for previously stated reasons ENY is the better of the two.
Now, what happens with PSA this afternoon could put them back into consideration again. I expect it will.
Or 15,822 pilots currently at AAG <500 through some sort of flow = .03% of total pilots on payroll.

A few being since the late 1990's
If half the list is going to turn over in a dozen plus a few years that's 7K plus pilots your really think Eagle and PDT are gonna cycle through 7k flows. Don't get me wrong I think every one there now is set, and I am happy for them, but that doesn't mean the door will be held open for the next 5k+ new hires.
