What 25 aircraft?

IAD has been understaffed since the day it opened and only gotten worse (FO and CA) We could use another 10 per seat and MAYBE be ok... NO clue how we're getting more flying in IAD without new airplanes, those 200s are doing 7-8 flights a day and most are going t - u every other day for one reason or another. They're just being flown to death. More flying? need a LOT more pilots
