Where did you hear that it’s official? I have not seen any such communication. Also, I’ll go on record and say right now that that’s impossible, unless they do zero upgrades and use the entirety of the training department to train new hires alone.

Although it is not likely to succeed, it is better that they are setting lofty goals and fall a little short than to set easy goals to begin with.
AA is in much better position to hire large amounts now than any point in the past. Recurrent training is 12 months, and not 9 months. There is no current backlog at all. Fewer fleet types mean less training cycles needed overall. Not much movement in the wide bodies as compared to the past (fewer wide bodies all together with less flying and no real new deliveries of aircraft).
Not to mention, by this point, most everyone is settled in to their seat. Not many 737 guys at this point are leaving for the 320, and vice-versa.
There are several Check Airman vacancies that are being filled now, and they have been hiring ground instructors and sim instructors like crazy.
AA has all of their sims up and running, and has contracted thousands of sim sessions (mostly on the 737) from outside venders (mostly in Dallas).
