There are still about 100 pilots who have yet to hit the line not to mention those in CA upgrade training and CA IOE. Furthermore, out of the master list of 772 I would probably take out at least 10% which includes management and pilots who are in the training department. There's also quite a few people on MIL leave.

So, as of now, I'd say we have about 550-600 active pilots, not 800. That's less than 10 pilots per plane.

At the same time, there's been a lot of people leaving, they said they thought attrition was going to be about 6 pilots per month, but I keep hearing it's over double that number.

Also, based on the amount of AA planes just sitting there, I don't think we're running the AA operation at 100% yet.

I think we're most likely right where we should be, maybe slightly overweight, but that never hurt.

I also remember reading on the newsletter a month or two ago where our COO Jake Rosholt said we needed to focus on stabilizing operational performance before we could take on more flying - so, it's pretty clear there's most likely more flying to be had as soon as that happens.
