The record was 1206 pilot hires in 2016 by Delta. (1171 by AA in 2000.) Not saying it cannot be done, but no airline has ever done it.

I'll believe it when I see it, but even if we're limited by training saturation it'll be a good ride.

If you’re about to take it, it wasn’t too bad. No real way to prepare. If you’re talking about the red X, I read on the FB group it’s just a glitch.

Hiring 2000 people a year is different from training 2000.

If they’re concerned about losing top candidates, the plan might be to take everyone and accept a backlog

And if they want to accomplish that, they’d need to become the #1 destination for pilots. Dragging out contract negotiations and telling us, final offer, take it or leave it, isnt gonna cut it I’m afraid.

What if they hire you, but defer training for 6 months to a year? Then in 2023 they need to hire a good sized amount, near their current training capacity. All they create is a bow wave.

Frustration will set in. Unless they have a strong preference for AA, they are likely to jump ship when another offer by a major comes along.

Yeah, I think it's more likely that the 2000 number is BS. Guys in the training department say all sorts of stuff.

just escaped GSW last week for CQ and every instructor in class said 90 per month(one new hire class each week).

They were more concerned where the applicants will be coming from, ie:experience.

If it was me and I lived in an AA hub, Id wait for AA. Even take the other offer and wait it out there. If I didn’t live in an AA hub and got another offer from a big 5 carrier while in the pool, I’d be gone and not look back.
