This builds on it, slightly better, but notice they didn’t put a baseline when they said “1.81 means that mainline must grow 50 aircraft.” We have 124 more jets to be delivered plus 60 added in this PWA. How does a 184 aircraft only become a 50 jet growth? By parking 134 jets.
What’s that? The 88 fleet (116 jets) and then some.
We are forever going to be buying and retiring aircraft, what they’re doing is using that natural business process to add larger regional jets to Delta Connection and continue making outsourcing profitable.
You, Sir, are indeed correct.
