I heard it from a standards check pilot normal FO hiring won't return, as of now, until 2026. There will be 3-4 D225 classes for 2025.

Right now there are about 6,100 Captains, and 5,500 F/O’s. In the next year we retire approximately 180 Captains.

I mean in fairness that isn’t out of this world timing. We have had that long of an upgrade path before here and u less things change drastically we will be seeing it once again, or close to it.

I have that poster blocked because they troll, but in this case they might be right.

Upgrade was very recently 6 years. The only thing constant around here is change.
