Saw on another forum that, starting summer 2022, AA needs to hire 2-3 pilots a day just to maintain current staffing levels.

I'm hoping the bids get a little more interesting once we start seeing new faces in the Fall.

Maybe the new CQT cycle and a fewer number of fleet types will help unclog the training pipeline.

If you closely at it it looks like very little training and in fact most of those that do require training, outside the furloughs coming back, were withheld....looks like it's going to be a tough summer for CAs especially in DFW and CLT, should equate to lots of PM flying though...just my thought anyways.

The next few months are going to be a mess, all of the short call 737/I ca's in DFW timed out last month.

Flew with a CKA recently. He said the 300/600 number was conservative and the potential low end based on concern over international flying and how well the recovery goes… but that the training dept feels those numbers could grow to 300/900 on the top end. Of course, take that with a massive grain of salt… CKA intel ranks right behind van driver and FA rumors in the hierarchy.
