I’m not in the training center, but UAL was hiring 1000/yr in the late 90’s....with fewer sims, a smaller training center, more fleets, and more movement between fleets. And not all the fleets were AQP.
I would have to assume a larger facility with more sims has greater bandwidth (for lack of a better word.)
UAL has spent a fortune updating and expanding TK to prepare for this.

When I was hired back in 98 we were at 100 a month if I recall.

The outside looks the same, the inside not so much.

I had to go through Guppy training as a new hire in Houston. It was the worst training that I have ever had at any airline, and I’m including Great Lakes. Glad to see that scab run training program is gone!!! The guppy training in TK still has the highest retrain rate of all of our types of airplanes though. So there is still a lot of work to be done.
