Lots of chatter allegedly of opening ONT/RDU/CLT next year..
5 airplanes remaining for the year covers 70 pilots worth of that hiring. I presume they spread the orders pretty evenly for next year when they deferred and we are still supposed to grow by about 20 planes. Maybe they just want to hire 200 pilots, take a few months off and hire 200 again instead of 30 per month? I don’t know.
That’s what BL has been saying yes. I hope they learned that they can grow organically this time around and not displace…
