Yeah, you're right. That's not very reliable, but it sounds intoxicating, yes ?
BTW, Delta plans on hiring 1600 over the next two years (I heard) and they have a better track record on "plans". Parker has stated that little domestic growth will occur at AA and most will be International. The overwhelming majority of domestic growth involving AAG will be at the regional level.
Now, .............how can we get more pilots to go where we need them to be at AAG ?
Let's see...
1950 pilots at envoy - 350 that will not flow = 1,600
1600/6(years for a new hire to flow) = 266.7 pilots that have to flow a year.
As far as they can hire enough people it's totally possible. It will be hard, but it's not impossible.
