so SWA ended 2Q with 730 airplanes. They’re expected to end 3Q with 741 airplanes. So that’s 12.8 pilots per plane…

So 13 pilots per plane…

The airline is expected to end 2022 with 765 airplanes…so add 30 firm orders and another 38 options for 2023, and that’s 833 airplanes at BEST.

So even assuming no airplane retirements, ie, 100% pure growth….and 13 pilots per airplane added…

That’s ~1330 pilots needed…

where are the other ~1000 pilots going???

the airline would need ~876 airplanes to justify 11,400 pilots

And the graph you just showed me, is MAYBE 816 airplanes…

again, that’s assuming 13 pilots per plane as is status quo…
