Water is nice here, looking forward to the swim. Was one of the 5 CJOs from yesterday.
Anyway, curious if anyone knows exactly how many people are in the pool at present, and how many people has DAL hired since they began hiring in earnest a few years ago? Any idea on how that compares to UAL? Have CJOs at both now.

The planned hiring went down in the summer with the change in fleet plan. It looks like there may now be another change but in a good direction this time. Hopefully we will know for sure in the next two weeks about the used 777's. Staffing on a domestic narrow body aircraft runs 13 to 14 pilots per airframe. 777's are staffed at 30 plus pilots per airframe.

Congratulations! You have a decision to make that many would envy. According to ALPA, in 2014 UAL hired 357 while DAL hired 964. This year I believe hiring has been fairly similar. Audries Aircraft Analysis projects that a pilot hired this year might reach 50 % seniority at UAL in 2025, while DAL is predicted at 2023. There are projected pilot retirements for each year through about 2030 on the airline profiles on Airline Pilot Central.
With that said, I think seniority progression will be pretty amazing at either airline, so I'd focus on which Company you think will be more successful or which has the better domiciles for your situation.
