Let’s assume those 60 stay for the sake of mathing this out. 145*16 pilots per plane=2,320. Plus another couple hundred for CBA staffing. Call it 2500 needed on the list. Unless somehow they crap out a bunch of additional planes, and attrition picks up, would there be any reason to hire 3100? I would say 1400 added to the list in 5 years is more realistic with what is known today and doable, so maybe hiring 2,000 over 5 years to account for attrition.
