The HOT rumor is they have upped the hiring to 3000 for 2026 (See Nov Dec 2025 projections of 200 each month) United was able to get additional 787 slots from Boeing due to the Chinese saying they did not want to take planes. The number I heard from the TK meeting was over 35 787's in 2026/Spring 2027 Now does this replace the aging 767-300's who knows. Anyway for now full steam a head on hiring..
