Some but not many. Average age throughout has been mid 30's.
And they'll have essentially no impact on the career progression of a slightly-more-than-middle-aged guy.
As for hiring 8000 - it's a lot and it's out of 18000
The 3500 at Southwest is also a large fraction.
In terms of a pilot who has a short time horizon, United is the definite winner. WB options make junior NBCA more accessible. Exactly how accessible? There's a major NBCA bid next month, stay tuned.
