Oh well, I just work here.
1 747 FO now costs them 2 types... 1 767 FO moves to the 747 and a new hire goes to the 767. Management knows the 767 will now be the junior airplane. As for expansion... They've gotta be able to out train attrition which they've been unable to do so far this year. We've hired between 60-70 (counting the class that just started) and the pilot group is smaller than January 1st...
