Over and above attrition!?! When I was hired, two and a half years ago, the junior guy in class was #1042; recent seniority list had 1044. I'm not a math whiz necessarily, but that indicates over the last two plus years we have hired a grand total of TWO "over and above attrition"!
Looking forward, IMHO, the hiring will be unable to pace attrition, much less expansion.

What retirements? IBT site shows 31 for this year. More than covered by the class of 18 followed, by the class of 24, 24, 24... Not to mention all the hiring before that.
As for attrition, I suppose it depends on your reference point. Hiring in 2012 to Apr 13 was pretty steady then it dried up with only 2 small classes the rest of the year after Apr 22nd, Until Feb 14 and it's been pretty steady since. When I started in Feb 14 we had around 1000 +/- a few so we have gained a little since then. The company's annual report lists 959 pilots as of 31 Dec 13. So in their eyes I guess the company is a net 85 since that point. So I guess it depends on your point of reference as to gains/losses.
Annual report reference, pg. 11...
Employees
Our business depends on highly qualified management, operations and flight personnel. As a percentage of our consolidated operating expenses, salaries, wages and benefits accounted for approximately 20.3% in 2013, 20.7% in 2012 and 21.0% in 2011. As of December 31, 2013, we had 1,792 employees, 959 of whom were pilots. We maintain a comprehensive training program for our pilots in compliance with FAA requirements, in which each pilot regularly attends recurrent training programs.

The running of 24 in a class may well be an experiment to see if they can do it and how well it will run. We all hope it is for growth, but the training can be turned off pretty quickly. New base bid due on Friday. Rumor of some captain upgrades.

The bottom line is that they can and will train their way out of the attrition issue. We've got more leverage than just that when negotiations open next year. Things will get better. How much better is the real question.

We've hired a ton since the beginning of the year, so no clue what's going on. With such few upgrades I'm not hopeful for growth. I'm guessing they'll be like 10 upgrades this bid, not the rumored 50 people think. We'll see in a few days. I also heard they're taking a month or two off on classes for those of you in the pool.
