I think that we will no doubt have some struggles with hiring and staffing but the reality is that we don't need to hire in such massive numbers that it won't be possible.

Everyone always cries about our hiring numbers not being all that big, but when you add 10, 12, 14 airplanes a year, the hiring numbers just don't need to be that huge. We are still a small airline. There are still, and will continue to be, a pipeline of pilots. Flying schools and regionals are all flying planes and those pilots will make their way here. That plus ATP, ERAU, Purdue and I'm sure UND too will ensure we don't run out of pilots.

A bit of attrition won't derail us. Plus, the company can up first year pay to over $100/hr if they want. That'll fix just about any hiring problems
