correct, and I’m no Alaksa sympathizer but here is just the facts you look at the Q3 10-Q (that was before the announcement of taking the 52 Options) we were slated to grow by 28 airplanes between now and 2026. With them exercising the options between now and 2026 we will get 80 new airplanes. according to the investors talks we will retire the 10 321s and 8 737s. Net growth of 62 planes. So not bad growth coming but the caveat. Can we staff it? now here comes my opinion.
Can we grow by 620 pilots ( assuming 10 pilots per plane) in 3 years? With the people I talk to on line and seeing the unions hiring vs attrition chart. no, we can not staff 62 new airplanes. so that’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

For the sake of all of us here and our well being I sure hope they can but the contract going to need section 25 improvements and pay improvements if we want to grow by 62 planes in the next 3 years

it’ll be interesting to see the Q4 10-Q
