Upper-middle management has reportedly said that the number is officially still 515,
but… They also expect it to go up after summer, as developing plans would require something meaningfully more. But that call would not be officially made until after summer - which puts the pilot hiring folks in a bind, since the pool has to be maintained to execute such a shift, but also strings along folks.
I think the decision makers are keeping their ‘cards close’ as a hedge. If deliveries are delayed (due to recent tariff impacts, for example), they don’t want to commit too early. Hope that makes sense.
