UAL: 2000 pilots in 2024. Down from 2500/yr since 21’. (Slowdown due to MAX 10 being pushed back - Straight from SVP HR during earnings call.)
AAL: Not sure about specific numbers, but haven’t heard of any changes. Probably 2000-2500 in 2024.
As you mentioned, WN: Probably no interviews for the majority of 2024 with the MAX 7 giving up certification waiver. Sounds like they have quite a bit of backlog to clear.
