Haven't heard any firm numbers. The general concensus is that we're going to hire a minimum of 1000/yr for the forseeable future. We probably would have resumed hiring this fall to catch up on staffing but the company is driving every cost possible into next year in order to have a banner profit this year for our 100th anniversary. Somewhere I heard 1800 being tossed out as a hiring target for next year. That feels about right given a lot of categories are under staffed right now and we retire another ~500 pilots next year so net growth of 1000-1300 pilots next year is reasonable. I'm sure some of that depends on deliveries. If we ever start getting the Max-10 that will drive a lot of hiring.
