I think the takeaway is all airlines stopped hiring for a very long time after 9/11. Most have now recovered and are experiencing impressive seniority progression (i.e., 2014 hire at DAL now holding CA).
At AA you still have 16-20 year FOs, and off the street hiring is effectively at a standstill for the rest of 2016. And this is all before the effects of SLI have been taken into account.
