I think it would all be contingent on how well you all can staff the ones you are getting. Right now I figure you all are looking at hiring around 360 to 400 pilots if all the aircraft coming our add planes and not replace any. That means you would double in size. That is a lot of guys to get through training in a year, but it is possible. Plus that is without attrition which I think you guys are losing guys as well.

All of XJT's aircraft are unprofitable thanks to the CPA Skywest negotiated.
