Last I heard was still ~200/mo into the spring with some sort of slow down (100/mo?) through the summer. Then back to maybe 150/mo going forward after that. I would say, however, that those projections may be on the low side depending on how this AIP turns out. If it gets turned into a TA that passes, it may drive higher staffing requirements that will drive more hiring.

pretty sure they don’t need to grow at the rate they did post-Covid and now will set to hire based on attrition and delivery growth. Delta prefers to run slim anyways and work overtime than have excess employees. So I think we all know to not expect 2500 new hires next year.

I think vacation is one of the larger drivers, but I have no idea what that translates to into actual numbers. Maybe just a few hundred, maybe more. A lot would be in the language of section 23 if the rotation construction limitations drive more credit into trips and thus more flying needs to be spread among more pilots. In the end it's not like the AIP is going to drive 2000+ additional hires but I'm sure ALPA has the numbers and hopefully that will be a part of the info that comes out when this is turned into a TA. Of course gains could also be offset if staffing needs are reduced by pay banding or other provisions.
