The short answer is: it is a percentage.
The longer (but still incomplete) answer.
Each WO has a slightly different agreement so it may be a percentage, or a flat number, or a min/max number. I believe they all refer to “per month”, not “per class”, so each class can vary as well. It’s all negotiated into the various CBAs.

i have friends that were hired in dec ish of 2019, and can’t quite hold it yet. That said, by the end of 2022 i bet it’s back down to 6 to 9 months. Dfw nb captain is pretty jr now too, not lga jr but on par with lax and jr to mia. 320 ca is jr to 737 ca currently. We will know more soon when our bid award comes out.

2017 and 2018 had about 55% flows from the 3 WO. Sure going forward things will be a bit different, depending on contractual flow numbers and number of pilots AA hire.
Those two years had the remainder split between Mil. and Civilian OTS. One year was predominately Mil. The other was about split equally. Sure this will depend on how many Mil. will come available and how many other airlines are pulling in Mil. That is a limited pool. So when it runs low or there are more total hires, the Civilian OTS increases.
YMMV

won’t be 15,000. Looks to be around 13,500 right now, and we are currently still losing more than we are hiring, but I imagine we will be around 13,500ish. We won’t need as many pilots, wince we don’t have near as many widebody aircraft, and JetBlue is flying a lot of AA customers in the NE down the coast.

They have identified that capturing all revenue for the size fleet they have now is a priority over capacity growth.
Tore a page from Delta playbook who sells tickets for AirFrance, KLM, West Jet, Air Mexico, LATAM etc.

With the huge wave of retirements in the next 5 years it’s going to be tough to grow much if at all. All the new hires will just be replacing those leaving, plus the training center will be maxed out on upgrades, initials, and transition events. I’d bet most of the incoming 787s will be replacing the old 777s and 5 years from now we’ll still be at 13,500-14,000 pilots.
