Examples within the last 20 years, with some occurring more than once:
Economic recession
Market crash
Oil price increase
Terrorist attacks
Merger
Health concerns (example: swine flu)
I'm not saying any of these will happen in the near term, but the last 75 years of airline history is one big example of constant changes to "plans."

It’s the airline business. “Plans” can change instantly in reaction to external (and internal) events.

I doubt it, and in a good way.
There are now 3 classes for August and the word at TK this week is to expect that operational tempo until next summer. They are gonna operate the place at 100% capacity so hiring will be much stronger than this spring/summer.
There are 45 new Boeings coming in 2020 (and an unknown number of used sheet busses). Combine that with retirements and it's really the perfect storm.

From: B767 Captain
That’s a long wait. I interviewed on a Tuesday, flew home that night. Next morning I was mowing the lawn and the phone rang. It was United, offering me a job and a class date in about a month.
Southwest, on the other hand, made me wait almost a month for my rejection letter.
