Yea see that’s where this statement goes wrong.
OO is forecasting a doubling of the 175 fleet by the end of 2023 if I remember the earnings call correctly.
Also when a pilot group of 7000+ is in the rumor mill from the right people, I highly doubt this regional attrition like you’re thinking is coming. And that’s only for OO.
What about YX/YV who are talking growth as well?
More narrowbodies = more regional scope right?
