“The agreement today is not for new order book increases but is accounted for within the carrier’s fleet plans.”
VP ops in recurrent a week or so ago said something to the effect of we have plans for 16 or 18 (hard to hear from the back) next year but we will probably take 24. I wanted to ask if this was additional to order or move ups but he was side tracked with a question about MIA and ran out of time.

He did mention we are currently limited by flight attendant hiring and the goal is to hire well above planned over the next 10-12 months. Pilot classes are expected to go from 48 to 72 in January.

As for MIA, the vibe he gave was the focus is on ramping up flights and any idea of co-basing viability would be reviewed sometime next year as it matures.
