Pay attention.
Right now, we don't have the staffing. The company has spent a large part of last year pounding its head against a rock saying that they didn't have to change anything to improve hiring, and we've seen what that got them.
Given recent compensation announcements, class sizes, and increased upgrade classes, the company is anticipating more 700s arriving the early part of next year.
Easy enough that I could explain it to my 8 year old nephew. If you can't get it, or just want to play court jester on the internet, that's not my problem. The hiring will continue (and perhaps pay continue to rise) despite whatever you think about it.
