And that hiring will hardly cover retirements and new aircraft. Long term future planning is not one of their strong points.
It's interesting to watch how completely different the two managements are. Seems like UPS suffers Paralysis from Analysis at times. Don't get me wrong, our management has its faults too. But I really believe that your fleet vision is severely lacking.
UPS hiring is fractured as well. From what I hear in Anchorage from my Brown friends, you guys are 200 to 400 pilots short right now. How will you staff what you currently have, plus the new airframes coming next year?
Not trying to pick a fight with my questions, I'm just trying to understand your company a little bit better.
