Crude oil prices roughly at $60/barrel over the past year. Now creeping up to $98/barrel.

Wat mean?

Probably not great.

Future bookings (unknown) drive future hiring.

Any rumors on total pilots being hired this year? That would be a tell.

(On a darker note, “You’re not really an airline pilot until you’ve been divorced once and furloughed twice.” Or is it the other way around?)
