Major Airline Pilot Hiring History

FAPA's method of tracking U.S. major airline pilot hiring leads to double-counting, since pilots at smaller carriers defect to larger carriers. FAPA estimates the double-counting to be no greater than 15% of the total reported. Future retirements will be the predominate driver of future hiring.
