What he is telling you is that there are variables that you might be missing and could therefore be overstating the implications of an increase in utilization. You might also want to read Carlson's letter in which he explains why more pilot block hours in March or other low season periods don't lead to more/less pilot hiring. Summer peak block hours are what drive hiring.
