You mean that hundreds of FO’s will have to be upgraded before Xjet sees DEC’s. If Xjet hits the target of 50 new FO’s per month, that means 5 additional airplanes per month and 25 new Captains per month.
Even at half in terms of new FOs means 12 new captains per month on top of those that are being sucked up by United through CPP.
Many months like that and you will be caught up.
