The average, 1990 thru 2000, was 612 hired per year.
Delta alone peak was 1,027 in 1997. The next highest was 812 in 2000.
Great info. Since Delta alone hire over 1000 I would have thought the combined total would have been a lot higher 1360. I guess the hiring peaked at different years for both airlines. In any case it really makes a 1500+ year that much more impressive.
