That makes sense then, combined with Fern its a plausible reasoning to slightly reduce class sizes. Time will tell.

They have to throttle back at some point. Let’s say we have 45 new hire classes this year. 65 pilots each class would put the number of new hires at 2925 pilots. Hiring projections are 1500ish i believe.

The reality is we won't know what its going to be until 1 January 2027. However that being said, 2,000 sounds great!

55 new airplanes and 800 retirements equals 1,500. More would be nice!

Im pretty sure those 55 new airplanes include some RJs….i think it’s closer to 35 mainline airplanes this year and 25ish next year.

You're right! 35, 24 then 44 mainline aircraft over the next 3 years. The 2028 number was just updated on Jetnet.

Looks like no more 737s after this year. I wonder if we will get updated 737 delivery numbers once the MAX 10 gets certified.
