The planned hiring went down in the summer with the change in fleet plan. It looks like there may now be another change but in a good direction this time. Hopefully we will know for sure in the next two weeks about the used 777's. Staffing on a domestic narrow body aircraft runs 13 to 14 pilots per airframe. 777's are staffed at 30 plus pilots per airframe.
