The remainder of the year will see double digit year-over-year growth, with 20+% growth currently scheduled for the months of the fourth quarter. This is primarily driven by the increase in the number of MD90’s. This month we have 29 aircraft, which increases to 41 in June and 50 in December."

Good news because at the moment we are definitely overstaffed in the MD-88 in MSP, but these increases will fix that.
