The real answer is nobody knows. The folks at the training center say 2026, but they have lied before. If you look at simple math, the retirements in this place really crank up the next few years, so their hand will be forced eventually. Assuming 1 to 2 percent growth a year average, they will probably start having regular hiring mid next year or so.

Everything i have heard says 225 this year then 300-600 new hires and roughly 300 upgrades next year. All for retirement replacements.
I think if the red eye flying takes off there might be another ~100 new hires/upgrades.
So not the end of the world but displaced pilots can probably see it from there

I personally think the company has completely soured on the Max 7. It is a niche aircraft and the only thing it really brings to the table is range, but in a very marginal way. I am sure they will take some of them since they are supposed to be the launch customer and have the biggest order, but I am willing to bet it is way less than originally planned.

The Max 7 is not in the company's plans for 2026 at all. They are operating under the assumption that certification will not be done.
