With how we do system bids and with the foot coming off the hiring accelerator I’m surprised anyone in this class took a 757 spot over a WB. Anyone coming on property now into that fleet may be stuck on it for a LONG time.
Also there is still a big backlog of folks from the MD/757/Airbus waiting to go to the 777/767 fleet so they are gonna have to get backfilled. Would still expect to see NH in those fleets.

Hard to say what the future holds, but if our next bid is still a year out and is much smaller than the last one, we may be looking at a similar timeline. I hope not, but who knows.

Curious where you heard this from? I assume you meant 2023. They put out at RTAG that they’re back to 200-250 a year starting next year, and a recent email went out to those waiting in pool they’re projected to hire 1,900 in the next 10 years.

Could be way off base, but I believe that 1,900 number that has been bandied about is a minimum. As in the minimum required to cover forecasted retirements as well as growth from newly delivered aircraft.

Even if this were true, it would be a while until it had any effect. As stated before, there are still a lot of pilots who had awards from 2020 and 2021 who are still waiting for training. All of those pilots would have to train before any realignment bid trained. Unless, of course, they cancelled those other bids, but that would open up a whole new set of problems since the company has trained new hires in seats ahead of pilots on the property who had those awards.
