That November "revised hiring forecaast" was if the Boeing strike continued for the year and we got no 737 MAX planes. The person who presented the chart even said it the Boeing strike ended quickly that United would hire about 1,700 pilots in 2025.
United finished 2024 with 992 planes in the fleet and the most recent estimate, even after the announcement of planes being parked, there will be 1,054 planes in the fleet at the end of 2025.
