Most of them are jet qualified, or turboprop qualified, in several different aircraft. The number of single engine turboprop pilots getting hired might be zero, especially with 2500 hrs TT.

AA (and others) have a tendency to hire up until they furlough.
A word to the wise for all new hires everywhere. Make sure you have a furlough fund and hopefully you won't need to use it.
