Also, block hours have increase by 20% from last year in the peak months and that will continue to increase next year. The deal (if any) could not be 100% complete which is why nothing has been released yet. My guess would be a chunk of the Virgin/Alaska 319/320's coming off lease. Even if the 250/7 months is just a made up rumor, the 100+ pilots in the next few months is still 12% growth to the list. We can all look forward to that and anything extra is just icing on the cake.
