The only stated number so far in any official communication was that they plan to hire ~700 in the first half of this year. While no further word has come out, all indications (continued interviews, sim instructors possibly working through the summer months,, their stated goal of hiring more pilots to stabilize the operation, etc) point to at a minimum some form of steady hiring through the summer and fall. Will it be another 700 in the second half? No one knows, probably not even the people in charge yet. The end number seems to alwasy be changing, hence why the best we can do is follow the trendlines.
