98-00 was a really good year for hiring all around. There were guys at US Airways that were told they'd upgrade in a few years and that they'd have the career of a lifetime. The late 90's economy was on fire, reminds me a lot of the 2017-2018 period.
The only thing driving hiring now is retirements, back then it was growth. Overall people were a lot more optimistic because of it.
Retirements are a more consistent method for continued hiring of course but at some point I'd like to see us innovate and attract market share away from other places. It's more the opposite it feels like right now. Despite what people think, AA itself was a leader in innovation for decades.

I would agree with you if there weren’t only 20 FO spots.
I still think it will go stupid senior. The only wild card is possible December training.
