Nothing has changed, 900 retirements this year and current plan is to hire about 1400 total pilots. AA has already onboarded 400+ pilots this year so far.
New hire classes were not stopped in June of 22, they went all summer long. Forgot about 2023 and I know they were in 2024. But to say AA has always done this is a little disingenuous and according to many posters on here AA had originally said that they were going to hire all year long. Of course like always they never put out any official statement one way or the other.
