want and need are two different things. Ric's charts are based on needing 15 a month. They'd like to remain larger (and whispers of possible growth are back) and keep more hulls flying and that would require more like 30+.
So, they need 15 to make their 6/2.5 close to reasonable;
they'd like 30+ to stay large and maybe even grow a little.
anything in between is good for our pilots. It's theirs to fix. So far, it's working for them.
