Sorry, I read that wrong. 302 sounds right. So they are covering some future positions. If 170 Wide body A’s have retired this year, and they’ve posted 302 positions this year, they are adding positions for next summer. Man it doesn’t feel like it but I guess I’ve just been expecting more movement at the top.
