I don't think 400 was ever an actual number, it was always our hope. I'll give you 300 and it's now at 175 for 2016. And the reason "is" because of less attrition. The telling times are pilots are seeing more reasons to stay.

With the A/C orders scheduled, JB will have 4400 pilots by 2022. Add the LR's that we will be the launch customer for in 2019 and by 2023 we'll have 30 of those which will take 600 pilots to staff (3 pilot crews for long haul), that will put JB at 5000 total pilots. 400 this year...175 this year... That isn't the big picture. By 2023 (if our planes still have JB paint) we'll have 5000 pilots and 330 airframes... That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
