If that's true we'll easily lose 200 to attrition next year plus 50 or so retirements. We may need 750 pilots next year. I don't know what management's plans to train all that are... I do know that 350 sounds like a recipe to have a massive shortage next fall.
I heard 350 too and that's just not going to cut it. But at least we've moved on past that ludicrous "Amazon is buying us" rumor.
