No doubt SkyWest is a huge company. Maybe I’m wrong, just seemed really astounding to me. 125/month for a company with 4700 pilots. Legacies with 14,000 pilots on full tilt aren’t pushing those numbers.

Outpacing attrition by an average of 55/month is 660 additional pilots this year, bringing the total to 5360. Is there that much net growth at SkyWest?

I’m just having a hard time with the numbers. Then again, I don’t work there.
