That makes about as much sense as anything I've heard. I am fairly certain we only have a net gain of 4 airplanes next year, but a continuation of increased utilization requiring more crews.
With 101 airplanes on order, I don't think anyone needs to worry about frontier stopping new hire classes. Perhaps a slow down, but the long term still looks good.
