It has been relatively steady growth of aircraft/block hours over the past few years. They had big hiring binges in the early years, but have leveled off at about 100-200/yr recently. Almost no retirements to speak of for the next decade (roughly 100 total), and attrition is mainly at the bottom of the seniority list. We will probably see some guys head back to places like AA/DAL when the recall rights are almost up. 7 Airbii and 7 E190s for 2013 deliveries.
