717s, # to be determined

Increased number of 76 seaters
60-65 medical benefits to encourage retirements
nothing stated regarding hiring
discuss...(already a huge no vote from me on scope alone)
Back to the original rumor, or should I say the most recent one:
This does not make sense to me - if we were going to get some 717's and 777s I would think we would need more pilots. Now we might be overmanned now (for winter) but if we bought 777s and 717s would we still be fat - especially in the summer?
Why sweeten the retirement when getting new aircraft?
