Default Town Hall

The town hall video is out (check your email). They start talking about hiring/upgrades around the 39 minute mark. Grant Morris was laughing as Bob said 1400 newhires and 1150ish upgrades in 2021. In 2022, they expect to hire more new pilots and have twice as many training events as the busiest year they've ever had. (his words, not mine). They want to be a 5000 flight per day airline (around 42 minutes in).

All of this as they spent quite a bit of time talking about contract negotiations, so it could be the whole carrot vs stick thing. Love to hear numbers like that, and I hope that it all turns out to be true. But, I'm skeptical.
