Also you just prove the point that picking some random date in the past is a silly way to talk about growth/progression. Why don't you want to use September of 2021 as your gold standard of growth? Oh yeah, because it doesn't fit your doomsday diatribe. The point I was making is that hiring completely stopped and using any time during that 18 months is going to paint a different picture than if you pick a date before or after that. You choose to cherry-pick data that fits your agenda (and it's a weird agenda) just like you did with fleet count.
How is the fleet count data off? Since 2019 the fleet has grown by about 6 tails. That has not changed. What is off about that? You keep asking me questions and disregarding my answers. How is this bid growth? Over the last two years we will not match attrition by over 50% This isn't off by a small amount. Bid 2026-06 will also not match attrition as well.
You asked several questions which I answered and then you just disregard the answer since you don't like it. If we are growing why are new hire classes stopping in February? You keep asking me things and disregarding what I have to say then bringing up a completely different subject. Now it is fleet numbers. I haven't memorized the SEC documents but it is all there in my old posts. Why bring this up again?
