Slow;
All of that is correct. I do not see DAL adding a ton of capacity. I see them adding certain international routes. That will require a decent amount of bodies.
Many feel that DAL cannot hire nor expand at all until they get their debt below 10 billion. There is a lot of truth to that. Even with a 2% growth YOY DAL needs bodies. Given our scope 2-4% a year in block hr growth in the international arena means decent hiring of pilots. Add to it that retirements will start to kick in.
I agree though. I prefer to be at red line than have to furlough.
