Delta Air Lines intends to scale back pilot hiring next year to half the number the carrier hired 2023\u2014 an indication that the post-pandemic hiring spree is slowing down.<\/p>\n

Aero Crew News first<\/a>\u00a0broke the story after obtaining an \u201cFlight Ops Weekly\u201d internal memo to pilots outlining Delta\u2019s intention to hire 1,100 pilots\u2014a significant reduction compared to peak hiring figures in 2023, which reached 2,200.<\/p>\n

But despite Delta\u2019s latest announcement, the company reminded its crew that the projected hiring figure is still well above average.\u00a0The Wall Street Journal<\/em>,<\/a>\u00a0which also reviewed the memo, highlighted the airline\u2019s message:\u00a0\u201cRemember that any other year, hiring 1,100 pilots would be considered an incredibly high number.\u201d<\/p>\n

Data from pilot career advisory firm\u00a0FAPA.aero<\/a>\u00a0shows major carriers are on track to hire 13,000 pilots this year, consistent with last year\u2019s staggering figures.<\/p>\n

Still, while travel demand continues to hold steady, some carriers have joined Delta in adjusting their hiring pace. Following a disappointing third quarter, Spirit Airlines suspended pilot and cabin crew training, while cargo operators such as FedEx suggested its pilots look to join other U.S. carriers.<\/p>\n
