And, maybe it’s not explicitly clear, 9% expansion doesn’t necessarily mean 9% expansion of flying required by pilots. If we’re talking revenue hours, the variables are large. They could fly the **** out of the 321’s and have a higher seat/mile flown vs. the jalopy 319. To maintain the same seat/mile comparison, the jalopies would need to fly more (thus requiring more pilots) than the 321’s per block hour. It’s all about seat/miles. And seat miles, I acknowledge, do not equate to hours required by pilots. However, 9% increase in capacity is still a 9% increase in capacity regardless if it’s using the 321’s more or additional block hours for lower gauge aircraft which would require more pilots/hour.

EDIT: I pray the 319NEO is a replacement for the jalopies we currently have....
Also, it looks like you presume linear growth. I don’t know if you work here or not, but, fwiw we don’t grow linearly. Our aircraft deliveries are not evenly spread out month over month, and neither are the expansion in our seat/miles.
