News to me. I highly doubt it. There is no reason we would be hiring non stop as we have, the past year, (while continuing to do so) if were really about to lose flying. Ive heard from a number of credible sources here that this summer is our busiest in block hours, nearly to the point where we would need additional -200s to do it all.
People can say whatever they want about AWAC, but they do a hell of a lot of daily departures for AA (goodluck covering that in a few months whim) and we have repeatedly done some of PSA and Republic flying over the last 12 months when they couldn't do it.
