Saw on another forum that, starting summer 2022, AA needs to hire 2-3 pilots a day just to maintain current staffing levels.
This actually has me concerned. Between today and the end of 2025 alone we’re retiring 3400+ pilots. I’m hoping the folks in GSW have a plan, because this plus trying to grow back to a 15,000 pilot group is a monumental task. Maybe the new CQT cycle and a fewer number of fleet types will help unclog the training pipeline.
