In a few years, this annual hiring number will not even quite cover their mandatory retirements.
For reference, 2017 actual hires were 645.
A majority of AA hires will come from the 3 AA W.O. and military, but they too will increase the sucking sound on the regionals.
I agree, by 2020, regionals will be in chaos.
They are already in chaos and costing the legacies money because of it. Heads are in the sand hoping for reprieve from 117 as a cure all. They will continue till they create the next financial disaster to push for the changes they want.
