The problem is you're looking at the wrong numbers. You gotta look at the number of pilots currently awarded the 200, not the number of airframes on property. During growth, the number of airframes will always lag behind as it takes some time to put crews through training. I haven't crunched the numbers for a bit, but I think most of the 200 positions being filled from now on are due to attrition.
