I think people who were disappointed on here were leaning into the whole "biggest captain upgrade for a year" thing and imagining more CA slots. I don't think this is unreasonable given the publicly stated goals of 2000+ new hires in 2026. Clearly 247 CA vacancies doesn't make a ton of sense if we are doing 500 new hires or so before year end and another 2000 next year.
It was the lack of slots compared to expected based on the huge numbers put forward by the company.
They can only train so many in a given period of time and there will be other bids considering how many deliveries we have scheduled and planned hiring. Given that, I’d say that this one is a pretty good start.
