There is a video in your company inbox with upgrade numbers for 2022 significantly revised downwards compared to the numbers our leaders were throwing out just a few weeks ago. I'm guessing our instructor issues are the cause of this...I would have never believed that Southwest would let hiring/retaining instructors get to the point where it would constrain plans, but here we are.

Meanwhile at United, there is the potential for Captain positions to remain unfilled in their next bid, leading theoretically to street Captain positions. Something to think about for those coming to class soon or among the more junior.
