Overall, standard staffing per airframe is about 6 CA/6 FO, but when you consider this is incremental growth and a support structure is already in place (for instance, no new crew bases, no new simulators so no real need for additional sim instructors) they can get away with less, about 5 of each. So we will likely only see about 20 captain upgrades per bi monthly vacancy for the growth plus a bit for attrition. Not sure this will do too much to help our upgrade time.
