American: 1,200+ pilots
Delta: 1,300+ pilots
United: 1,200+ pilots
Southwest: 500+ pilots
JetBlue: 500+ pilots
FedEx: 600+ pilots
UPS: 300+ pilots
Spirit: 600+ pilots
Frontier: 300+ pilots
Allegiant: 100+ pilots
Epstein: didn't kill himself.
Just hiring in 2020 is looking like well north of 6,000 pilots are going to be hired next year alone.
Well put. Consistent with the Boeing forecast of pilot hiring over the next two decades. If I recall, US airline hiring is only about 1 in 6 in the world.
Oh, and it is 6,001 vacancies counting Epstein. Oh, never mind.
