Bumped into this
Back from the graveyard. . .
2,500 pilot hires and recalls from furloughs forecast by AA over 5 years (2013-2017).
The projection was ridiculed.
Through the end of 2017, they had hired just over 2,000. Throw in furlough recalls (i don’t have the exact number), and they were pretty close to being spot on. Not bad on the forecast.
