How the heck are we supposed to be at 2019 capacity if we obviously don’t have the staff we had back in 2019, so of course we are smaller still. We opened up new destinations and have had to thin out the network that we still have to back fill. We still have 24 NGs parked that are not coming back as they are due for heavy MX and it’s not worth it. Have to wait for the MAXs to show up, especially the MAX 7.

For the record BTW did you see the interview list last time around? It was 4 pages long. I haven’t seen one with that many people ever. I don’t think they are having issues at all in that department. What they can not do is get them through training as EXTOs are still clogging up the school house. We have a supply pipeline issue, the supply of lift and people. So after the latest debacle they have wisely cut back, I personally don’t think enough, but that is temporary till the supply pipeline is caught up. It’s a classic case of growing too fast for one’s britches.

I’m not a GK fan as a leader, not one bit, but he knows his way around the numbers like nobody else. I trust him on financials, just don’t trust him on doing right for the people.
