I would disregard a lot of the CRU since we have been having decent sized monthly bids for a long time. Right now the difference between numbers of FOs and Captains is less than 1% and there's no way we can retire 450 Captains and then hire 2,000+ pilots into the FO seat in 2026 and somehow that makes sense. We get over 100 deliveries in 2026. There's going to be hiring and going to be Captain upgrades. On this bid we have 2-3 year new hires getting Airbus Captain in Denver. It used to take 20 years to hold Denver Captain. Its still moving and there will still be vacancies and lots of training.
