He just showed you a pertinent part of the letter and was even gentlemanly enough not to make you look foolish with the first part.
No facts there? Weren't you just on a soap Box a few pages back about how great your staffing is? Come on Colonel Jessup! Why, if staffing is soooo good at your airline, do you need our pilots to come Captain your/our ships?
The "fact" is that there is a letter. There are no "facts" stating that this letter was in any way harmful or done with malicious intent towards Eagle pilots.
One sentence about staffing is not a soapbox. I simply stated that we have the staff for around a certain amount of acft. We currently have about 80 acft. We also currently have about 1200 pilots, in addition a class started yesterday and classes are full for the next few months.....at least. Those are "facts". I'll assume 200 non active pilots between mgmt/sim/med/adm etc. That leaves room for 20-30 additional acft RIGHT NOW.
