I would say hiring is going to be pretty much nonstop for the years to come. While growth aircraft stop in 2022, the following year (really 2024) and beyond retirements start in large numbers, not counting early retirements which have been equal to or higher than mandatory. Unless they get ahead of the curve NOW, I don’t see how they will be able to keep up in 2-3 years. Others can chime in, but I don’t think they have the capacity to train more than 275-300 a year. So we may break 3,000 this year, but don’t think it will go much higher than that.
150-200 per year in a small pilot group like this is a big deal.
