Retirements in the next 20 years:
Retirements in the next 20 years:
Remember some of those out years numbers will increase as some of the new hires will be older, thus reach mandatory retirement age before 2040.
Further, my crystal ball says in 2040 AA will have grown. So, more hiring will be required.

What sort of “short term plan” are you looking for beyond that?

I can tell you that new York is catastrophically understaffed at the moment.

We're still fat on the CA side in NYC, but I expect things to change over the summer - I've moved up over 20 spots since prior to covid, but nobody is filling in at the bottom.

Schoolhouse working hard to get pilots recertified. Hard to get simulator time to qualify pilots for different metal, as they came off airframes that were retired (5 of 9 types, but only 10% of total airplanes). Cannot keep up with growing PAX loads. Even after all get back flying, needing to hire for those who took early retirement and those hitting 65.
Maintenance is stretched, as well. Trying to do heavy checks for all those planes parked in the desert.
