I’m pretty sure the original 2017 forecast was 750, though I’d need to dig to find that. So we did end up short. 900 was quoted this summer for 2018 in a crew news, then in the fall on AA pilots, it was already reduced to 730.
Not that it really matters, just not sure how they are going to handle 900+ retirements and subsequant movements generated per year in a few years.
