It looks like Delta is slowing down hiring. The plan for United is to keep hiring big numbers for the next years both for retirements and significant growth. We’re planning to bring a lot of regional flying to mainline. In 2024 we are supposed to get every 2.6 days a narrow body aircraft. And starting in 2025 approximately 24 787 per year to a total of 150 787s. Those are replacements and growth for the 767s and the smaller 777s. The 757 will be replaced by 321s.
