answer yes. We’re fat on crews but we’ve been intentionally ahead of the curve. We have enough for Q1 and continue hiring for expected growth. Q1 is not ‘summer.
BB also emphases the long lead time between hiring (and upgrading)) to the line. In effect we must have the number of pilots on property we need several months before we *need* them.
the tone of the call was pretty positive with lots of upside. If you’re gonna worry; find something else to worry about. Frontiers’ growth isn’t it…
Eh...
Growth is going to be an issue. It always will be given our contract/rates. Being "ahead" of the hiring curve might be ok for now going into Q2 (and maybe Q3) of next year, but sooner or later, we are going to need pilots that aren't available (or that are for only a short while).
Only a contract re-negotiation will solve the growth issue.
