I’d expect next year to see a fair amount of new hires and upgrades.

Lets that say we finish 2022 with 760 airplanes. We are flying I think about 650 now, and have a total fleet of 730. Add in roughly 30 net growth and that’s how I get 760. Feel free to correct, I’m using napkin math.

At our current Manning of 13 pilots per plane (8500 active/650 jets) 760 would require about 9900 pilots. Add in 100 retirements and suddenly that crazy 1000 new hires and 1000 upgrades rumor might actually be plausible.

But then again, I could be wrong!
