I'm coming up with 13 pilots per aircraft. That seems like a high number that the company might want to be less. Anyway, 13 per aircraft multiplied by 29 is 377 additional pilots. Add in attrition of 30 a month or more, and you are talking about hiring 600 pilots over a nine month period, or whatever the time frame for accepting the new aircraft is. That will be a tall task. 60+ new hires a month and large upgrade classes on top of that. Thats a whole lotta training going on.
