Estimates have hiring numbers at approximately 9,000 for 2022 (DL,UA,AA,SW,JB,UPS,FDX) and estimated to continue for the next several years. Thanks
If you are hired at a legacy at the tail end of this wave you will still have a good career. Seniority matters, but it’s something you have little control over. Focus on building a great resume and becoming a proficient airline pilot (know your FOM and know your contract).
