Any truth data on what the actual current # is? Thanks.
If you have a free newhire account on Widgetseniority, you can view the most current seniority list (as of 4/3/23 I believe). You can see how many newhires were in each class date, and guestimate from there based on how many classes/pilots will be hired between that seniority list and your class (currently running 1 new class per week, about 30-60 pilots each.)
Here, I'll take a crack at it:
15524 on April 4.
Lets say that your class is the 3rd class in June.
avg 40 per class
3 classes hired in April (1st April class was already on the list) = 120
4 classes hired in May = 160
2 classes hired in June before your class = 80
Puts you around 15884 (15524+120+160+80). Maybe a little lower due to retirements.
