In 2018 they pumped through 939 in a calendar year. That was the high point through the schoolhouse since pre-9/11. That was two decades ago.
Delta has said 150/month this fall and 200/month in 2022. That’s 2400 pilots in 2022. I don’t think any of the majors has ever hired more than 100/month. If they have cracked that number, certainly wasn’t for long.
