Latest rumor I heard is 2000 new hires in 2018.
Seems grossly improbable to me. But I thought I'd share the data point to get everyone's hopes up. Source is supposed to be in the human factors department at TK.
Flame on.

I wonder how many guys waive, fly sick, or take broken jets because they don't want to risk not getting hired through the CPP, since they know the company is tracking them?
But I am surprised at some of the pilots that I heard got through the process. Just like OTS.
Also heard the sick call rate summer 2016 was extremely low compared to previous ones.

Couldn't be done anyhow. 1200 will be tough enough. I hope so, but has never been attained. If they hit 800, I would be delighted.

"ever they called in sick"?
is that a performance measure now?
americans get a cold 4-5 times a year on average (CDC). pilots should not fly with a cold. so these guys are either equipped with super-immunity, or, they're flying while sick. if the former, they might help society by participating in research studies; if the latter, they better rethink their views on coming to the airport sick if they're scheduled to fly with me ...
