So 4 days before the merger we had 2782 active line positions, dropping to 2701 by September. By November 2014 we will have 2989.

So we have around 8% more active line pilots than we did on the day the merger was announced, not 20% like cacti claims, and about the same number are on the low paying E190, which we didn't have then.
