Pilot Hiring Updates USA
The conservative forecasts didn't last long, and both American and United cranked up hiring to the maximum extent possible.
United is running weekly classes of around 75 pilots per week, while American is running classes of at least 60 new hires every week! That's over 500 pilots per month between just two airlines! These numbers are expected to continue into 2026 as pilot demand is increasing once again.
For every pilot who is hired at a major, a vacuum is created down the line. If the new hire were a regional captain, then that regional airline must upgrade another into that captain’s spot. When someone is upgraded, it creates room for another regional first officer. While the regional hiring trend is still slower, we can expect that to increase quickly as we go into the new year. These are exciting times for everyone looking to land their next pilot job. Remain prepared and keep your applications updated!
United, Southwest, American, Delta, and Alaska/Hawaiian, Endeavor, CommuteAir, Envoy, GoJet, Horizon, Piedmont, PSA, Republic, Avelo, SunCountry, SkyWest, and ABX Cargo - they all hire First Officers.
