Also, not everybody is in the same boat as you, we have 2100 pilots on staff. At least a handful wouldn’t mind not worrying about trying to get the holidays off after years of being jacked around in the industry.
Yes, we’ve been talking about growth for a year; we’ve been told to expect a nearly 33% growth (from 30% of DC flying to 40%). If you look at other DC carriers where we can reasonably expect to see our growth come from, their contracts expire at the end of 2019. Taking on aircraft is not an easy undertaking, especially when you don’t want to kill stock prices and those other airlines ability to staff flying in the process. Stuff takes time, be patient.
