Apparently 2500 a year for the foreseeable future.

Whats the current timeline to hold DEN756? I've heard the flying is pretty bad and basically consists of redeye transcons or the unicorn Hawaii trip. How easy is it to trade into Hawaii flying for DEN pilots?

Looks like the latest vacancy had new hires still in training awarded EWR 756.

Can’t really speak to the DEN 756 flying personally, but I’d put time to hold somewhere around 9 months or so. No vacancies on the last two bids, but it went to someone who’s about 1350 numbers from the current bottom during the bid that closed in October.

EWR 756 went about 50 numbers from the bottom of the list on the last bid.

The Hawaii flying is fun once your there but that redeye home is one of the worst in the system.

The red eyes can be avoided.

What this basically means is that there wont be any 320 CA positions available to new hires as they did not release a freeze on EWR 320 CA.

My aplogies to those from Froniter, Spirit, JetBlue, Allegiant, Volaris and VivaAerobus

but that doesn't mean those other airline Airbus pilots won't be able to bid for Bus Captain once on the property. They just won't get it as their initial award.

We have 130+ narrowbody deliveries scheduled plus 8 or so 787's (back half of the year). Planned aircraft retirements are minimal. Add in roughly 400 pilot retirements and you get to that need for 2500.
