I just don’t think the place is ready for all those airplanes AND pilot’s. They need some house cleaning and better operational planning first. Every week when the weather goes pie eyed, the place unhinges. I know everyone wants all this growth but sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for. Thirty percent growth is a lot and those airplanes are NOT in the best of shape and maintenance has their hands full now. More pressure to fly and fly broken equipment is NOT a good thing. I think they need to clean up their act first. Doesn’t the FAA have to sign off on this too. Have they even been watching.

Didn’t say that
I DID NOT say I wasn’t hoping for the growth. You’re putting words in my mouth. I said we need to be careful what we wish for. I take your point casual I just disagree. Most know those aircraft that are coming have NOT been well looked after. Also, most know that crew scheduling is always on fire it seems. So thirty more aircraft and 400 more pilot’s, and F/A’s, is a big undertaking. They still don’t have an agreement with the F/A’s. I think they need an agreement before any major announcement. They need to be cautious and careful is all I am saying. One accident or major incident will be all it takes.

CS will always be what it is, they can't staff the place every day for an IROP response. 30 airplanes happened in 2018 just fine, it will happen again if they need it to.

That's the same thing I thought when I read the post. If it's a hub MX is usually in the jetbridge waiting to come on before the agent even get the jetbridge to the airplane. I never felt pressured when we got the first batch of EV airplanes. If something is broken it won't fly until it's fixed or deferred.
