I think they can easily grow way past 600, that was just a conservative number which yes the math I did splitting hairs was techincally more than 5 but less than 6. I don't have the numbers of the upper half attrition but with the increase in hiring at the major I think you will probably see more than 13% attrition above you outside of flow.
Ah, yes.

"There is unlimited growth potential in the current landscape. Plus, another airline grew a lot a few years ago when the pool wasn't so dried up, so we should totally be able to do it."



The only way any regional will be able to sustain growth will be to continually raise pay. Eventually mother AAG will say no more increases. There goes everyone's growth.
