We did all our hiring for 2025 by April, seems like that is the plan again next year.
Do you work for the same airline? Don’t trust a word flight ops says - 2025 operation was understaffed. Following the logic via deliveries for 26’, flight ops desire to keep hiring forecast completely vague, and cutting 2025 hiring short I fully expect ~1,500 to account for retirements & growth.
Of course, Flight Ops can clearly defy logic and continue to further understaff the airline as the fleet grows. Wouldn’t surprise me - but the vagueness of “more specific numbers cannot be shared” is insane. Crazy how we must continue to extract absolutely zero information for these “updates”.
