DL was at 12,500 at their merger. They are now at 14,500 and still growing. American was at 14,500 at their merger.
We have not grown...yet.
No growth huh? Tell me what aircraft were the 1437 furloughed pilots flying in 2011? What aircraft are they flying now along with the 2800 new hires? If there was no growth we would have 1437 less new hires. If we didn’t have pilots on furlough at the time of the merger we would have nearly 14,000 pilots.
