The part he glazed over was that it took buying an airline with 60 aircraft to ALMOST hit that number. The lack of desire to grow is one of many reasons I never wanted to end up at Alaska. I'm stuck here now, trying to make the best of it, but boy is it hard.
in my CQ this year they said they want to be a 10000 pilot airline (buying JetBlue puts us around 8500 (assuming JB is around 3900 pilots currently) so 1500 more organic hires
