We're going to grow for sure but don't forget the 747 will be parked and that's 22 frames. I have also heard rumor, and I'm not sure I believe it, that United has several leases expiring on the oldest 737s. Since they will be 20 years old United is not going to renew them. I hope all the 737s/320s/MAXs are for growth! We would be a 16,000 pilot group for sure
