And when your scope is a 50-seat jet you actually have 737s to fly. 737s may be "small" but they're employing a lot of pilots--at the mainline. Yes, we are getting excited, but not in an optimistic way. If this is big boy league, then it's too bad we've finally made it. BTW 2010 LCAL international block hours 562k; LUAL 431k.
