You realize that even without orders we have 12 planes arriving between today and March 31st right? Not to mention by end of 2021 we will have 55 more planes than we do today.
Will a new hire today upgrade in 3 years? absolutely not without an order. But will 4 upgrades a month remain for the next 3 years? absolutely not.
We need to average around 10 upgrades a month for the next 3 years just to staff what's coming. And that's assuming 7 captains per plane for staffing (we currently run around 9 and with pbs we will be somewhere between 7-8 captains per frame)
