Regional Airline Hiring Numbers
I put together some hiring numbers based on the probationary pilot data that ALPA puts out. I've been collecting the data for a while now. It is fairly accurate, +/- 1 pilot per month. It does not count for attrition as it is only a snapshot of the past hiring. This may be interesting to some people.

The data could be skewed or shifted too based on the local councils reporting member registrations to ALPA national. These numbers all come from a master list of names and dates, which I obviously will not post.

Unfortunately doesn't necessarily mean a net gain of regional pilots, but could be pilots making lateral moves from regional to regional. Take L-XJT for example, our list has shrunk from 3,000+ to about 1,800 over the past few years.

Thanks for the info. In the current hiring environment how difficult is it to get hired at a decent regional? I remember reading the "can you fog a mirror?" posts in the past, just not sure if it is still this easy. Is it still the case that the airlines are struggling to fill seats?

The second chart is just a proportional chart over time. The 100% is the cumulative total of the series represented as a percentage. The numbers inside the bars are the hiring numbers.
