Too many "supposedly" around, I'll take the investors call as an official-ish statement from company: which is 10 to 12 new planes next year. That's it.
Do the math: considering how many pilots we have on property now and the optimistic 8ish pilot/frame goal... it means AT THE END of 2019 we'll be somewhere around target staffing levels. So the number of new hires in 2019 pretty much depends on attrition and retirements only. 10-15 guys total? Wow.
Don't mean to sound like an a$$, I'm trying to use the most reliable information to come up with an educated guess of what 2019 will be like. And so far all I know is that I have to start getting comfortable here at the bottom cause I ain't moving up anytime soon.
Perhaps you should take a look at this little gem thats in front of every call and investor slide:
