We prefer the term "
fund" vs staff. Our aircraft are "funded" not staffed. The difference is with staffed aircraft you hire pilots to fly them whereas with funded aircraft you displace Pilots into category.

If there is one thing our management is good at (OK they are good at some other things too) its euphemisms.
FWIW I think it will be around 7, but I would be surprised if someone does not post a number with at least 4 decimal places within an hour.
