You're counting the 700s that are already supposed to be on property as "new arrivals"
You keep referencing 2014 as the golden age. Are you forgetting the training backlog? Of course guys were only on reserve for 3 months, they had an additional 3 months between ground school and sims.
Sorry I'll let you get back to your office in Vandalia.
The 700's were interrupted for the addition of more CRJ900's, but you already know that. Taking additional new airplanes is not a bad thing. The first quote was from an interview and press release this week:
PSA Airlines | PSA Airlines Announces New Crew Base at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport | December 12, 2016
The backlog does not really change time on reserve. The backlog was prior to, and proceeding most new hires. From the time that you started IOE, it was about 3 months. If the training backlog did not occur, it still would have been about 3 months.
And do you really think that any management work on Saturdays at 11pm?
