It sometimes seems like the company doesn't want to base to be too big, perhaps due to the family leave laws, etc. here. Is throwing nearly 400 220 pilots here going to be balanced by reductions in the other two NB fleets (by attrition), or will the neo and max deliveries keep those categories at their current level or higher over the next couple of years and beyond?
What are your thoughts?
Hard to tell. Wouldn’t shock me if there was some level of shrinkage. But at the same time, new hires have been awarded msp on AEs in the last 2 months so they’re still staffing the 73 and 320.
