Recruiters have no idea what the yearly hiring totals will be. They are told to fill X over the next Y months and do not look past those targets since those decisions are made well above them. If you want to know what our projected hiring totals for 2016 look like you'd have to talk to APA, DoFO or Fleet Managers. They're able to read between the lines looking at attrition, capacity growth and fleet plans. Recruiters don't do this.
