We still have 56 planes parked and I remember reading 2 months ago 717 is bringing more back that were originally retired. (Fleet newsletter).... Thought I heard the same for 320/7ER's
I haven't seen any E periods scheduled on 220. I would have happily taken the extra money to do it, lol

or maybe they are planning on 600 + 2400 guys fly 56 jets!!

We just retired 77 Maddogs, 10 737s, 9 320s and 18 777s.
VEOP plus age 65: about 2k dudes left.
Deliveries are at 34 ac this year, 32 in 2022.
If hiring is so aggressive what are these dude going to fly? Unless there is a monster order ready to be announced with super fast deliveries..
E periods already being utilized on most fleets.

personally I see us ordering more 220s, expediting deliveries of NEOs and 220s we already have on order, and maybe a MAX 8 order.
on the intl side I think we will see delivery timeframes moved up if the demand is there with the possibility (50/50 odds IMO) of more aircraft ordered.
But that may just be me being optimistic.

There are quite a few CDG trips on the ER in June. The first one started on the 5th. I was surprised it wasn’t utilized for TOE. Nor was the one departing yesterday. I don’t see the backlog moving much at that rate.

isn't it a bit premature to do staffing calculations for 5 years in advance? I think from today to 2026 assuming we buy no airplanes is a bit pessimistic

Well that's interesting. Seems month to month block hours are increasing by large %'s proportional to our green slips we've been handing out the last 6 months. If UNA'S returning were just filling the gap and now increase in hours, I'd say hiring makes no sense. With more flights coming each month and some months having 3x more green slips than ever recorded for that month, hiring large numbers seems to make sense to me. But I may be overlooking something....
