How are the Apps coming along? Any luck?
I have always been a reader here on APC, but now I created a profile to start asking questions. I have been here at NK for 6yrs about to hit yr 7. Im a junior CA, still on reserve. After the latest news I have now sent out apps to United, Delta, and AA this week. How many of you have also done the same and have any of you heard back from any of these airlines? If so, how long did it take until you got a call, email invite etc? Hearing all the opportunities at the BIG 3 and the movement and retirements, it makes too much sense to leave. Let me know if any of you guys have gotten calls very recent and how long it took. Thanks guys!

UAL: 2000 pilots in 2024. Down from 2500/yr since 21’. (Slowdown due to MAX 10 being pushed back - Straight from SVP HR during earnings call.)
AAL: Not sure about specific numbers, but haven’t heard of any changes. Probably 2000-2500 in 2024.
As you mentioned, WN: Probably no interviews for the majority of 2024 with the MAX 7 giving up certification waiver. Sounds like they have quite a bit of backlog to clear.

DAL: Cut hiring forecast in half for 2024. 1000 pilots instead of 2000+. (Still fantastic numbers!)

This is not entirely correct. Update from company last week states just under 800 new hires for this year. All classes are full for first quarter and most of second quarter (this is why interviews have slowed for a bit). I believe they were initially planning on greater turnover this year, but that has slowed drastically that may to the new contract.

My source in the hiring dept mentioned they have over 600 in the pool already though.

I don't seem many of the 600 waiting for the WN class date if one of the other 3 calls. This is not a slam on WN, just a realistic look at where they are in the movement opportunities among the majors.
