Wait, which airline in the Delta system are we talking about?
Right on Gloopy!
Growing capacity 8% YOY
Growing the fleet by 18% in the next 4 years.
Hiring 25% more pilots in the next 3 years.
Can you name the Delta system carrier?
Back down to Earth: for us to see equivalent growth at Delta mainline, we would be have to be adding 130 jets above current fleet count and hiring 3000 pilots in the next few years.
