And so, that's a lot of staffing, and that's across the Board. It's everything from our frontline people, our pilots, our flight attendants, the folks at the airports, quite frankly, even the general administrative workforce has some more direct related expense associated with it when you get bigger.

So, this is reallyall about rightsizing our cost and a lot of that is labor, as Ted mentioned to the size of the business. And that will be muted in 2024 and 2025 and maybe even beyond that. So part of what we're going to do is figure out the right staffing levels in all components of the business to make sure they're fit for where we are.
Welp, there you have it. We might not go under but dont expect any seniority progression in the next 2+ years. Honestly, enough junior CA's might leave that they wont even downgrade.... doubt it though. Wonder if those bases they were "totaly not trying to close for the frontier merger, just right sizing" are back on the chopping block.
Thanks for posting that.
