retirements:
2025 - 475ish (many already have happened)
2026 - 550ish
2027 - 550ish
2028 - 700ish
2029 - 700ish

Current plan for Hiring
2025 - 1200 (many already have happened, but several hundred to go for the remainder of the year)
2026 - 2200-2400

So, things are going to get very busy over the Fall / Winter / Spring. Keep doing all the things that are always suggested for more "points" on the application (more time, more PIC, LCA, Leadership positions, etc, etc,) and know that the call is coming.

Figure with DL and AA hiring in pretty large numbers as well, things are going to be moving pretty fast again.
