the moment the company wants to up gauge block hours the will tank the operation. We have another 60 planes (net growth) coming by end of 2026.

My guess is we start hiring in September or October.

I am curious what the meetings behind closed doors look like right now. My guess by end of year, but like everyone said… who knows. I also wonder what the combined company total airplanes/pilots they would want to target would be as well.
