Hiring absolutely needs to match attrition. The airplanes are still here, again, NET ZERO. NET ZERO! There aren't less airframes, there are less pilots with the same airframes, this is 100% factual, there is no room for debate on that...
There is no short snapshot view of the company, this is factual information available. This is not assumption, hope, or estimation. This is readily available information, with the addition of the WORDS SPOKEN FROM MANAGEMENT that backs up what I and many others have said in here. It couldn't possibly be any more clear than when the factual evidence matches EXACTLY what upper management says.
