What's the latest new hire class propaganda? Still going to 15-16k pilots? Guess Delta has a list of almost 13.2k now and plans for 1.3k new hires over the next yr so they apparently are still providing instant seniority for new hires. Looks like the list at UAL has grown by 250 or so in the last yr.

From the May hiring update,
We have hired 295 new pilots through May 3, 2016, and we expect to hire approximately 630 total pilots this year...Our forecast for 2017 is calling for approximately 800-900 new pilots to join the airline...

I was a May 4th CJO and was told to expect an October class. Anyone have updated info on how long to hold a line in EWR 737 and IAD 737? I'm sure it's been asked a thousand times but thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, anything more specific is nothing more than a wild guess. The time it took a guy hired in Oct of 2014 has zero bearing on a guy hired in Oct 2016 because there are a zillion variables in play (retirements, fleet growth, base rebalancing, block hours, etc...)
That said, EWR is ramping up for some very substantial growth on the 777 which will naturally cause movement on the 756 and 737.

There's generally much more movement in EWR.

Thanks! I know nothing is certain. Sounds like either way EWR is a better choice for movement than IAD
