I am always amused by people who think things will magically change in some huge way. Barring insanely high tariffs or essentially impossible levels of mass deportation to crash the economy, absolutely nothing will change on a scale that quick. The economic impact of most policies is measured on the scale of years to decades.
The most likely policy to affect hiring immediately would be age 67. That would probably result in a reduction of 300-400 pilots needed per year for two years.
Take a look at the markets! Of course a new administration has the ability to greatly affect the economy. The US economy is a recoiled spring held back by bureaucracy and unnecessary regulation. The economy is very likely to start cooking (which will benefit the airlines bigly) again after the new administration cleans house. Airline growth is highly correlated to GDP growth. Any idea when we had our biggest PS checks?
