Totally agree with you. But I'm just passing along what Chris is telling the new guys in reference to the previous post about hiring being scaled back to 200. If it has been scaled back, I would think Chris would know about it and wouldn't be telling new hires the 600 over 8-12 month number.
I don’t think we even have that many planes coming. 200 yeah but 600 hmmmm
Hey I’m all for it but, I don’t see it.

Why not? When I got hired in 2019 the plan was to hire 2500 more pilots. With this NEA, I could easily see us keeping all the 190’s for another (‘as long as they’re profitable’ years). At the very least, we keep half of them while speeding up deliveries of 220’s. As someone pointed out, we’re expected to start exceeding 2019 levels by the fall. I’m sure they plan to hire and train as many as they can.

Sounds like all the 190s are hanging around… I think what I heard was they’ll see what kind of deal they can make with the leased ones getting the lessor to cover some costs of long term Mx. Sounds like the AA stuff driving the change in course regarding keeping vs retiring them.

Yea exactly. Hiring plans contingent on sim constraints and how many they’re actually capable of training.
