That means they only have to hire 860 to get to the 300, right? Aren't they planning on hiring at least that many for the next 10 years? I don't think it really matters anyway, the attrition numbers don't change much regardless of how the 300 or 35% plays out. I still don't see how they can upgrade unless they are able to hire at least 100 pilots next year.
