Possibly 400 more if they take the 20 737’s that are coming. Then say hey guys and gals come work for Papa Bezos! We might even give you a preferential interview! They have the airplanes leased for another 3 years, plenty of time to hire and train their own crews before they buy the planes outright. It won’t be hard, those recently furloughed AAWH crews have up to 7 years experience...Hey a non union job at year 1 probationary pay again is better than no job right?
You got it. That is how you go from being short on pilots and hiring as many as you can to immediately furloughing hundreds.
