You are about 100 high. Best year yet, and probably an anomaly with some good luck. But our LCAs our here...well...they do very very well. The issue is manning. Even if you TRY to just fly your line, a lot of trips get revised/extended. Great for the pocket, but not so great if you have a family trip or event the last day of your trip. I think once domicile gets spun up 100% that may slow down.

I suspect the big W-2s are in 75/76 training...they are again doing 2 AM boxes for initial quals. That place must be nuts.

I never was in a "new" or growing fleet but rather in dying fleets for most of my career here. The 76 is surging, and I expect anyone who goes to it will see an expanding bidpack and more and more options.
