Slow, before you start throwing stones, that verbiage is directly from DeltaNet, the Press Release and the Q&A. So that someone is your employer.

Until we see organic Delta growth via pilot hiring above attrition levels, all this excitement is just about shiny new jets.

They are nice, but that's it.

I sure as heck hope we will grow between now and 2018.
Realistically though it's more likely the growth will come from another merger
