There are 80 neos on order and a handful of 321 ceos coming. We are currently operating 54 planes I believe. The first neo comes in September and the order is over 5 years.
In regards to bases, anyone hired now would most likely wait a long time for Denver as a captain, meaning 10 plus years and Chicago could be quite a while. There are 100 crews in ORD and I can't imagine the company wanting, or being able to fit, more then 150 crews there.
At some point we've got to open a west base, and that will go very senior. Then we could easily open a NE base like PHL. Which would go very, very junior. Cause Philly sucks. 😄
