It seems to me it would be in their best interest to increase the number to at least 10. If that were the case in about 3 years time the most senior guy on the list not counting the 50ish that bypassed will be 3-4 years. They'll have themselves a 150 acft airline at ridiculous cheap labor prices. This is the plan they sold us all along. Time to find out if they were lying(probably).
I don't see why this wouldn't be their ideal plan. Key word: ideal. It keeps guys flowing up to AAG and keeps regional labor costs down. Everyone is happy. Of course a lot can change in the next few years that could send the airlines for another spiral. We shall see.
