Figure hiring @ 250/300a year, so 10 years to get to ~6000-6500 pilots.
Thats not accounting for any attrition which so far, has been low. A CBA cant come soon enough.
We will NOT hire 250-300 per year. That is chief pilot/school house propaganda. I've been here almost 6 years, they have been promising big hiring numbers the whole time. I made a spreadsheet 6 years ago with a more conservative number than that and it keeps falling further and further behind the estimates from the spreadsheet.
I no longer trust them.
