They need 30 new qualified warm butts at the end of the month. So to account for training failures and no-shows they hire 50 at the beginning.
As for upgrades, I've been hearing since January that the company was 80-100 Captains short. They figured they would be able to get through the summer lean like last time. May proved them wrong.
So now they're catching up to what they should have been doing since last year.
