Agreed. I'd be shocked if it happened in 2018.

New hires will not hold ORD until a new base opens up or we get some new gates. Rsv is well over a year in ORD. The last line holder in DEN is a 5/16 hire, so 8 mos to a line. MCO, I have no idea.

I think because the old 319 return rate as NEOs arrive nets out zero growth crew/airframe ratio, so we are stuck at the same 40% hire rate (or below) that F9 has always aimed for. Imho.

With our delivery schedule/return schedule we are projected to be at 72 birds by years end.

Feb bid packet said 55-57 planes for the month. A gain of 1.5 planes per month for the remaining 10 months will be interesting to watch. Believe it when I see it.

Right because 6 are going back between this month and next.
72 by years end. That's what's on the schedule.
Not jousting with you.
That's what's scheduled.
I agree, it will be interesting to watch.

Not really... that number in the bid pack is aircraft actively flying. 3 are currently out for heavy checks with 2 more slated for heavy late Feb into Mar. We really have 61 on property right now. Our staffing is more than adequate for the projected growth. They're actually ahead of the curve.

You don't run 55-57 lines of flying with 55-57 planes. You need a few more than that. Check out the planespotters.net website it's a pretty accurate fleet tracker. Looks like we have 66 airplanes as of today.
