The several years pre-covid saw significant hiring.
The theory would be that this is the start of a couple years of Vne hiring and with the airlines competing to stockpile pilots and it will taper in a few years.
This is somewhat definitional, but it’s sort of a “anymore widebody captains for 2040 left to be hired?” The answer may be no.
