We have 30+ planes of growth in 2025 that can possibly help our position but we can’t even fill the planes we do have with passengers now. I’d expect deferred deliveries next year and a contract realistically middle to end of 2026 if we play our cards right.
We are still losing ~25-30ish a month. I lost 5 in front of me and 4 behind me in the last week.
But yeah, fill the airline with enough 1000hr pilots and they wont be able to go anywhere for at least a year.
