Edit: Link to a press release naming some of the big players. It names iAero as "a leading integrated aviation business" with ramp space and MRO facilites at KMIA.

3 more -300s from southwest coming in January.
Their saying addition of 18 more aircraft I guess after this deal is complete. Not sure to what kind of flying. Hopefully an increase in benefits and compensation to help boost.

A class every month for the foreseeable future. Now on AirlineApps. Most junior CAs are April 2018 hires. 140 pilots on property. 30 aircraft in fleet by January.

Tell me about it any -300 sucks in the summer. One recirc fan, weak packs and crappy APU with not enough capacity.
