The need would most likely be if Mesa folded and Parker lived up to his word of wanting to give the wholly owned carriers more flying. Simply giving us more flying will not be enough to cover recalling 74 pilots and hiring more people. We would likely need new planes to cover it, unlike Republic who already has the planes. It all really depends. The contract is not amendable until I believe June or July (Do not quote me on it) and from RUMORS the company has no interest in even beginning to talk about it until they absolutely have to. We'll see. I still think it's going to be a long year, but things change quick.
