Pretty close estimates. There were 836 total pilots hired at UAL last year and 148 of them from xjt (over 50 from the CRJ side).

Expect 1000 pilots at United= 250 pilot interviews (and probably hired). that sure beats 650+ moving on to spirit, allegiant, atlas, etc
685 left xjt from the ERJ side and 312 from the CRJ side.
