And for hiring for the MAX, why would we hire for it at all? We are going to be winding down the 717 and 7ER, would they not just put those pilots on the MAX as they wind down those fleet? I don’t really see very much NB growth at all going forward.
First of all, you can’t “just put pilots” on anything. Second if they are indeed “hiring” for the MAX it’s because they see the MAX fleet growing faster than the 717 and ER fleets draw down.
