During COVID, with zero attrition, they were only able to decrease the shortage by 300 pilots? How long have the Majors been hiring? 6 Months? It takes time to leave the military, even without a service commitment. With AA, DAL, and UAL each hiring 200+ a month, I'm betting there are tons of guys who are "still on the books" with the AF even though they're out the door. The AF only produces 1200 pilots a year, or roughly 2 months of legacy hiring numbers. If they really don't see these numbers as a Master Warning, they're dangerously out of touch. They might be on glideslope, but their descent rate is about to be 2000 fpm.
