And when you say “History” no airline in the history of aviation has grown by 100 planes a year and United is doing it 5 years in a row. So we HAVE to hire pilots. This isn’t a traditional boom/bust cycle of an airline. SK has decided to completely change the game in his favor to win in the commercial airline world.

The great thing about what United is doing is that you don’t have to be at United to watch the growth and expansion. You can watch it from any airline.

I predict a lot of regret out there that people passed on United or waited a few years to apply, just like the people that didn’t buy Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs as $200.
