I think the number of new 767s next year is 6. Don't hold me to that. I wouldn't pay much attention to buyout rumors. Especially considering it was not even known to SDF leadership until it was a done deal. Leadership has been quoted as saying no hiring until, at least, 2025. We won't even have a good sense of where block hours will be until the next bid package is published. After all, it's block hours that drive manning, not the number of brown tails. I would expect a realignment bid early next year, to rebalance the fleets.
