Well, if you were to have 5 flight attendants for every 2 pilots (which is conservative since we don't have an all A321 fleet), you'd have a demand for 200 pilots for their 500 new FAs. Maybe attrition is a factor but I wouldn't be surprised to see at least 100 total pilot vacancies in ORD this spring.
