We're not going to increase by all that many pilots per month in the next little bit as far as I can tell? We are already doing more ATL flying. Not sure why you think we will be "very fat" on pilots?
ATL lines are starting now, not July. The base will open in June.
686BR and 980EV are in service already. Saw both in JFK the other day
