Talking to a guy that just wrapped up the interview in Dallas, he quoted Rocky as saying 750 is the goal for 2017. I would imagine the increased number is to make for 2016 attrition. In his video address to my recurrent training class, Alan Kasher stated that 2016 was the worst year in the company's history for attrition. If my new hire class is any indication, 20% of the people hired last year have left for other carriers.

It is a good place to work, but never allow yourself to be blinded to the compensation, benefits, and quality of life enjoyed by our competitors. Talk to your friends and former colleagues at Delta, AA, UA, B6, etc about how they bid, where they stay, what their rigs are, how their companies deal with nutritional needs on long legs, dropping trips, what ancillary fees are paid for.
It's important to compare so that when contract time comes around we know where we lead and where we fall behind. We can't be a drag on the profession.

Maybe not yet, but they have some QOL provisions that blow us out of the water. Full uniforms (including leather jacket) paid for by the company. Parking at your domicile, your commute city, or a city wide rail pass in your domicile paid for. The ability to drop trips. Commutable pairings (including reserve). Pre-release days. Short and long call reserve...
We have a lot to learn from our colleagues at other airlines. It doesn't pay to look down our nose at someone who may just have some cool things that we lack.
