There are 150 vacancies that need to be filled by 6/1. I think it's safe to presume there will be just as many vacancies to fill by 12/1. Throw in the typical attrition and you're around 400-450 total hired in 2017.
Regardless of what the number will be a year from now, the fact is none of us pilots has any control over it. That number will also probably change several times before the end of the year as it does every year.
