Heres why:
Only 2 of our (30) E175s are in service doing revenue flying.
Only 4 of our (10) new CRJ900s are in service doing revenue flying.
According to APC, you currently have about 900 pilots, half of which are probably first officers. For growth ONLY, if you have an additional 26 airplanes coming, at a generous 6 crews per airplane, you'll only need another 200 captains. That means your fast upgrade captains are already on property.
