You are in a good position to tell.
I would think so; hiring and recalling 2,500 FO, you would think half of them would go to backfill upgrades to CA, even if it was all growth. (Half CA and half FO for increased flying.)
In reality, a good chunk would be backfill for retiree CA. That would make it even more than half of 2,500 as upgrades to CA.
Maybe 1,500 to 2,000? I would appreciate anyone having the data, rather than me making an educated guess.
