Uffda. I didn't know we leased back 2 -800s in addition the 5 -900s. 7 Airplanes that we could, and should be flying, yet we're not. All because of a captain shortage. Another terrible permanent position bulletin. And, oh, we probably could have made $10M more during summer flying if we had enough captains. The fact that we aren't operating 7 of our own airplanes feels like a slap in the face.
At what point does a savvy CEO say "I think I can use part of that $10M to fix the upgrade problem"? But here we are.
