I think that will be correct through OCT. After that they will have to ramp up A320 staffing. The 321's start arriving as the 717 deliveries end. The fate of the E190 could also have a big impact later next year if it arises from the ashes of the TA. The question on the bus is how many FO's will move up from the Md's. Every position has to be offered on a AE before it can go to a new hire.
