To the extent they actually do hire 400 this year.
1. CBA vacation staffing, etc...
2. **IF** they are actually going to take the full delivery schedule next year AND the delayed deliveries from this year they will need to get ahead of hiring.
3. Currently understaffed.
4. We do still have steady light-moderate attrition from the bottom of the seniority list.
5. Training float needed to cover the additional movement the very low E190 pay has created.
Others may have more ideas.
