The FAA continues to issue thousands of airline transport pilot (ATP) certifi- cates annually, and the number is grow- ing. Major U.S. airlines are expected to hire between 3,500 and 4,500 new first officers each year to replace pilots who are retiring and allow for expected growth. This hiring comes from a vari- ety of sources, but mainly from regional carriers and the military. Since July 2013, when the new first officer qualifi- cation rule went into effect, the FAA has issued an average of 7,500 new ATPs each year. In 2016 alone, there were more than 9,300 new ATP-certificated pilots with multiengine aircraft ratings. Since the rule went into effect, the FAA has issued more than 25,000 new ATPs, which dwarfs the number of airline pilot job openings in that same period.
