From Jan 16 to Jan 17 we had a net gain of 155 pilots. That's roughly 13 per month. We are growing steadily, but you have to consider attrition as well as intake. With 14 new aricraft coming this year, that's roughly 140 pilots needed. Seems pretty balanced to me.

From what everyone on here has been saying, they are all LGA-bound. Is the LGA flying going to increase to meet this supply or is LGA going to be having 40 more reserve lines?
Increase TDY to ATL, DTW, MSP?
Thoughts?

Based on the number of pilots who are still not using the EFB yet, and won't be for another 2-3 weeks, I would suspect we will keep the paper around thru mid to late April. But that's just a guess, haven't heard anything official.

14 aircraft or 100 aircraft, Daddy D still has to give you flying for them. I'm just not seeing it until we get the ATL lines in July.

EDV has aimed for 60 new hires a month for over a year now. They don't always hit it; in fact, I think we have only gotten there twice in recent months? Our resident MX guy can speak up (or somoene else who knows), but I believe at least one of the XJT birds are flying, maybe two by now. Last I heard, one was operational, one almost done with MX, and a third starting MX. That was a month ago I think.
We're not going to increase by all that many pilots per month in the next little bit as far as I can tell? We are already doing more ATL flying. Not sure why you think we will be "very fat" on pilots?
ATL lines are starting now, not July. The base will open in June.
