Default all airline hiring #s in 2015

Hey guys/gals. I'm curious to find out how many pilots majors are hiring this year, and hopefully get it updated as #s change. Please contribute

I've heard so far:

SWA - 300 (2015), 600(2016)

Frontier - 150-200 (2015), 100 (2016)

Delta - 115/month all through 2015, roughly 1300 total (2015)

United - 85/month or 1000 (2015), just recently heard upwards of 125/month...or as training allows)

American - 50/month

FedEx - ?

UPS - ?

Virgin - ?

Allegient - ?

JetBlue - ?

Atlas - ?

Alaska - ?

Hawaiian - ?

anyone else - ?

Frontier is 200+ in 2015 with expected 15%+ growth in 2016, meaning 150 or more.

They aren't committing to 2015 numbers yet, but want at least 200. It will depend on sim time availability (they are buying a new sim to be ready in late Summer to Fall 2015.) and the delivery schedule of the 321s.

I'm curious where you got your SWA numbers?? Speculation based on facts or an inside source?
