The training department is running at capacity new hires are getting e periods. There is tdy training going on (subcontracted sims) etc. instructors are being hired and trained. The machine is running on all cylinders for all the potential new hire airplanes.
Heard a rumor of a bigger than expected RFP with 50 787-9s and some number (35ish) of 330neos or 350-9s. It will all be price dependant. Of course I'll believe it when I see it.
