To meet these goals, it sounds like they will bring on 68 airplanes in 14 months which is 4-5 airplanes per month growth. I think someone mentioned that PSA had 800 pilots? if I'm not mistaken so that would be a need for roughly 500-600 or more pilots in 14 months.
That 126 number, thats the 30 900's, the 40 700's and the 200's right? They then also have an option for 40 more 900 if I'm not mistaken. If that option were to happen someone hired today might still be in a good position, but probly not an 8 month upgrade.
