Things change fast in this industry. Everyone on all the forums might tell you that airline x will not hire for 2 years, and airline z is hiring 80 per month for foreseeable future - both fact can be wrong in a week.
Best advice - watch it and apply with all of them as soon as the windows open. Go to career fairs. Work on your brains, flying, manners, positive attitude and social skills. Also learn to look good - dirty, old shoes and wrong sized, wrinkled shirts turn off recruiters fast.

I know on the west the remaining 737-300s will be replaced by new A321s by December. They don't intend on increasing capacity with the larger aircraft so that means the schedule will be reduced, meaning less flying, hence less crews. I think the east has 40-50 737s left and they will be replaced by new Airbi by 2013-14. Good for the company and customers, blows if you want to get hired.

Actually my bet is that AA will either hire, furlough or both in 2012. How's that for insight?
The VP of flight says they'll hire off the street in maybe a year, but he also thought there would be a contract by last winter and still says there will be a contract this fall.
All things considered, nobody knows. All else is a WAG.

Gotcha- btw, I consider major to be the Legacy's, Southwest, Alaska, Airtran, Hawaiian, and Jetblue. I, as well as many others, consider Spirit, Allegiant, Skybus (when around) and Virgin America as startup LCCs. Sorry. No offense intended.
