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)
Just about everyone I fly with seems to forget this. They all think we have no more planes coming on property for some reason.
