Having said that the issues that could affect that number one way or another are the difficulties hiring other employees, winter resurgences of COVID and/or COVID restrictions, economic growth or recession, loss of some junior pilots to other majors - especially first year guys due to the pi$$-poor year one and training pay, and the fact that 862 people are more than the training department has ever turned out annually since…well, EVER really.
