Because their programs might also stumble one day and payback is a real biatch...

As for anything else I’ll believe it when I’m sitting in the seat and the check clears.

The only way that could happen is if mgmt did it in a way that upsets both AS and QX pilots.
How's that scope coming along?

If the the economy holds, if not there is flexibility to swap out some 737NG’s for Max’s.
All Airbus and positions have buyers

😂All kidding aside, if I was a loyal Eskimo customer and found out that my go to airline had ordered a bunch of super, de-certified MAX flying coffins I wouldn't necessarily be all excited about it! Just saying.....

3850 - 2932= 918 add 265 retirements company estimate 1183 new hires in 5 years. About 237 a year. Honestly, with transitioning all the Airbus folks, that is the absolute most the training department can handle.
