FYI, there are still 167 pilots from 2007 waiting to flow (7 months), 113 from 2008 (5 months), 0 from 2009 (0 months), 86 from 2010 (3 months), 237 from 2011 (9 months). You and I probably have different understandings of the meaning of "relatively few."
However, there are indeed relatively few from the several years after 2011:
5 from 2012 (1 month)
67 from 2013 (4 months)
57 from 2014 (4 months)
75 from 2015 (5 months).
Hiring really increased near the end of 2016, and 2017 was a huge year.
(All numbers are approximate.)
Thanks for taking the time to look up the numbers. I added months, based on 25 per month through 2011 and 15 per month from 2012-2015. Assumes no other attrition.
Based on this, 2007-2011 will flow in about 2 years.
2012-2015 will flow in just over 1 year.
Interesting perspective.
