5 airplanes remaining for the year covers 70 pilots worth of that hiring. I presume they spread the orders pretty evenly for next year when they deferred and we are still supposed to grow by about 20 planes. Maybe they just want to hire 200 pilots, take a few months off and hire 200 again instead of 30 per month? I don’t know.
That’s what BL has been saying yes. I hope they learned that they can grow organically this time around and not displace…

This is it... If they are going to displace, at least have the balls to tell your employees that you want to grow a base to displace some and backfill after X months. Not just throw out a sheet with -10 and let them figure it out after they already bought houses in bases YOU told them to move to.
@Target, are we looking at growth in 2026? Judging by this https://www.fftpilots.com/fleet/ it seems like we're largely flat in 26, but I'm assuming that we will probably extend some leases?

Agreed, gents. Finally seeing modest seniority gains in-base and hoping it doesn't get erased next summer.. Them's the breaks I guess but hopefully not.

I can't say which of the 3 its gonna be but I don't think it will be all 3. BL came and spoke to us when I was out in DEN and said specifically that they feel like they learned alot from this year and opening 3+ bases a year is not good for anyone. He said he expects 1 base a year for the next couple years. But that was before we deferred a lot of the orders so now I could see 1 base next year and after that, who knows.

BL just says this stuff so that he can get the pilots off his back during recurrent questions.
