Assuming, there is a class, will this be to cover attrition, for growth, a combination or are they worried the staffing model per plane will not hold?

Also, I'm skeptical on more aircraft coming. I'm aware of what MG said in that email a couple of weeks back where he showed how drunk he is on the hotel kool-aid. However, this company just walked away from 8 aircraft and lost a bunch last year due to a contractual clause that allowed another buyer to sweep in.

The current fleet is at 91 and the plan was for 93 by the end of the year per the management slide show in May. So I'd say they are on target for deliveries.

All of 2018 company presentations said 100 planes by end of 2019. I guess if you adjust downward then you’re absolutely on target!

Probably the 7 planes that ended up at Kuwaiti. Not much they could do about that.

Humor is lost on pilots. My post was funny and you know it.

I thought it was hilarious. The truer it is, the funnier it becomes.

And with that you can look forward to a 10 year upgrade.

Sorry Charlie, thats just the facts. It's not negative just real life. In your Rose colored glasses world I suppose you want to mislead a new guy thinking they will upgrade in 2 years? Well that's just super!
