Some numbers to consider: from the Seniority List
archive - 'Pre Pandemic" -the oldest I have is Q1 2019. We had 1400 Pilots and about 85 Planes.
Today we have ~110 and near 1700 (November class, SL not yet published)
That's a pretty consistent ratio of approximately 16 crews per tail.
Growth in Pilot numbers closely correlates with growth in aircraft. unsurprisingly; as utilization over the near 3 year period has been consistently high.
Again. F9 growth. Worry less :-)
