On 1/14/2018 aapilots said 730.
Two days later, on 1/16/2018, the spreadsheet (apparently from AA hiring or Schoolhouse) showed 40 a class, until fall, then it would then slow down a bit, with a total of 920.
It appears both classes in Jan were in line with the 920 plan. Then the first class in Feb was below even the 730 plan.
A pilot with a great reputation for data said he remembered earlier in Jan. AA was saying they planned on hiring 900 or 925 for 2018.
I would be inclined to believe the 920 as being a more reliable number.
If someone has any update in the last two weeks directly from Hiring or the Schoolhouse, I think we would both would welcome it.
