Exactly, that's why I say "how is anyone going to staff them"...even us. To hire enough FOs to cover the flows plus new airplanes would be nearly impossible from the sounds of it. That's why I say American may have to to end up dividing up the deliveries because there isn't one regional out there that could take on all of the planned delivers unless that particular regional had 50 seaters to park.
