UAL is hiring sub 1,000 this year. Delta, around 1,000, AA? United hired north of 2,000 for the last 2.5 years, the forecast is much lower due to Boeing. NK has a few hundred on the street, The Regionals are no longer short staffed. I absolutely do not think Old Lyin Ted is concerned with Attrition. That is my only point. I dont think Pilot retention is something they currently care about.
