I can tell you right now the math works out to be 3 pilots for each desireable job (Jetblue or better) based on retirements and 1% growth. I’ve ran the numbers, getting a job at a major is anything but a sure deal.
Yes, relatively speaking it’s a great time to be hired but there is still a 300% surplus of qualified candidates over the next 5 years.
Also, to say the Union wouldn’t be interested in a flow increase is ludacris. I can say that for a fact.
