The EDP costing debacle is 100% on the Company. They own the optomizer and it was incumbent upon them to accurately model the proposed changes to rotation construction. I know it's hard to believe their A-team in crew planning could mess up so badly. Ive heard the individual responsible is still employed. Let Delta be Delta. Garbage in, garbage out.

I have also heard a good portion of the 4% growth is coming from fully restoring RJ flying, which has been reduced since Covid.

Nonetheless, it is a dangerous game they are playing here. Rumored hiring doesnt cover attrition, let alone any amount of growth. Also lets not forget the increased vacation value on April 1 or the fully phased-in staffing formula changes coming by summer as well. I think summer 2025 will run warm dampened by the bow wave of unprecedented levels of hiring over the last several years. If they double down on silly and dont ramp it back up by EOY2025, summer 2026 will be nuclear. Just in time for contract negotiations to be in full swing. Hats off 2.0!
