Those growth numbers with compounding will require about 18% more pilots in the next 4 years if it’s airframes and block hours. That’s 2700 pilots on top of retirements. I suspect they were talking ASM growth. With the fleet upsizing going on that requires far fewer pilots.

I saw the one in AMS last week. Nothing outstanding, except two things.
First, the company doesn't like two small fleet of large widebodies (777 and A350) so the company may address that in the near future with an wide body RFP. Second, aircraft deliveries are going to be 4% growth for domestic for the next 4 years (net, so that includes retirements) and 3% for the international.
They said the same thing about new hires - moving up some hiring from next year to this year, then probably 120 a month for the first six months, then slowing down for the last half of 2020, but still the same numbers Jaww said above.

We have absolutely no control of the fleet plan other than SCOPE. All the postulating is useless and irrelevant, but highly entertaining.
