AA and US have hired less than 200 combined in the last 10 years, while united (cal) and delta have hired thousands. .

Does anyone know how many US Air has hired in this latest round of hiring? Seems like they have hired a lot more than 200 within the last couple years and continue to hire, wondering if there is a more exact number. thanks
 
US hired around 300 this year, and don't forget America West hired every year from 1995-2008 except for '06.

I was hired in 2007 and have about 500 below me with classes starting every couple weeks
 
The AA/US FAs are already going at it with each other. Couple that with the US/AW/AA/TWA food fight that is sure to ensue, they are going to have some serious labor strife within the ranks for decades.
 
Here is the real problem with this question, you are asking people which they would choose but very few if any have worked at both. The view from the inside is always different and you will only get half the view from every poster because they really can only say what it is like to work at the airline they are employed with. If you end up having to make the choice pick the one you think is best at the time and hopefully it works in your favor. Seniority is every thing so most likely the first to offer you the job will be the one.
 
If you sum the retirement numbers posted on APC and assume zero growth/shrinkage, then you hit 50% seniority at Delta one year ahead of American or United. However, I still think you take the first one that dials your number and then the easiest commute if two call at the same time.
