Yep, CR is in between a rock and a hard place.
They need to start filling up the sims soon (especially on the widebody fleets) but the 365 is already burned.
To say that they're behind the power curve is an understatement. And while they're shoving the throttles forward (increased hiring), network certainly isn't lowering the nose (slowed growth). Next summer will be interesting. The only thing that can bring this to a screeching halt is how Delta handles the new 'Airbus Tariffs'
