Also, while we are talking about past memos; I remember one a few months ago that said we would need 7000 pilots in the next decade and we were trying to figure out how we would train them all. Now in this memo that number has been reduced to 3500. What gives?

Can you find the memo with the 7000 quote?

Through 2023 we have over 5200 Age 65 retirements scheduled. Not sure where SD's #'s are coming from.

Easy, we're only going to hire pilots that wear size 2XL uniforms.

It's because we had such great response to the RMA.
