I'm just the messenger. I make no judgement as to how truthful or reliable his forecast is... But he did say it.
Hopefully the West coast build isn't like the LGA build......50 DCI flights for every 1 mainline flight. We've also heard the same hiring forecast for the last 2 years. Always seems like 50 per month for the foreseable future any day now.....then network decides to cut another 3% and we're good for another year.
