Yeah, that's why I said growth and early outs combined with a few summers of slowed hiring equals rough back of the napkin math...120ish...could be less, could be more...most likely an average of less, but at least all the rumors are positive and trending toward a good future! Guessing the monthly new hire class size 7 years from now seems like an exercise in futility, but the trend seems good

LOLwut?
Adding the 3000 to the "protected" list is a positive. However I don't like there being a cutoff. That in a way is a B scale. Not on pay but on job protections. I'd like to see the PWA change to protect every pilot when hired, or at the very least at the completion of probation. That could get messy though as some JR pilots complete probation sooner than SR pilots, but there are ways around that, like anyone senior to anyone who is off probation also qualifies, etc.
The furlough protection doesn't mean the company can't furlough. It just makes it harder for them to do so without a dire need. There is no reason to segregate the seniority list by drawing lines at contract time. Having separate pilot sub groups that get different contractual job protections is as unfair as having separate pilots who get dramatically superior sick and family leave based on domicile despite the intended uniformity of a CBA in the first place.

I was at the career expo today at the museum. Hiring numbers this year are to be 1,300 and they've been authorized to hire another 1,100 next year. 20-25 per week starting in January. For what it's worth...
..........23?! Grats!
