Well, first of all, we did not end the year with 58 DC-9's. As of a few weeks ago, from one of the higher ups, we have 68 or 69 (I admit, I can't remember the exact number). He said we were supposed to go down to that number, but with the ecomomy the way it was, we weren't. Thus the reason for more DC-9 pilots.
It's not even fun anymore because apparently Sailling will never stop.
