Wall St has the ELT by the B—-ls. They hate growth because it is expensive and want to see our EPS go up. I think if they can hit that they could make a case for more aggressive growth both to the board and Wall St.
But the above is all a guess.
Agree.
JB has historically added 250-300 per year to the seniority list, as fly-by pointed out with his graphic. The only reason I think 400ish is coming in the next few years is a combination of; CBA needs, as well as the Airbus deliveries (Airbus fly's the graveyard shift, more pilots per plane than the mixed fleet average), Europe (will require more pilots per plane, I think), A220s may fly SOME graveyard shift flying (more pilots per plane than the E90, 3-4-5 years from now).
As you said, all just a guess.
That all assumes JB doesn't do ANOTHER delivery revision slowing deliveries. And doesn't include any acquisition by JB or of JB.
