1) How many new hires are spawned from the 717s

These numbers are surely just estimates, but it could be the official start of upward movement. The system has been gummed up for quite some time. The real pay raise is the move from the right window to the left window. This cannot happen until we retire/hire folks.

yeah i think the 100 small aircraft order we postponed is here. its 88 717s, 70 crj900s, some 90s. you can probably park the 88s plus others. so its not growth, its md's like you say bar.
