So really my main question is the second one—what it would mean for everyone. Right now I’ve seen a few comments that “oh no, there may be fewer captain slots because of the Boeing delays.” But by extension, isn’t that really implying less growth, less seniority progression, etc, for everyone? Smaller classes?

I guess I’m wondering if someone at UAL that’s smart on airplane orders etc can cut through the noise and pontificate on if the Boeing news is a “big deal” in the short term and if it will have immediate impact on the company and the training schedule.
