Did he say the next AE will be a big one or are they planning on doing a couple smaller ones back to back?

717 (B side at least) is going to get slaughtered this summer. Next month DTW is critically black every day. ATL has been over staffed for months but next month every day is black. There has been a small trickle of new hires the past several months so no relief in sight as flying ramps up.

How many more 717's are there to bring back? Or is it more a matter of increasing utilization?

Some combination of more planes + more utilization + the category has been shrinking as people train out with no replacements.

All 20 that are in storage, for a total of ~90. By year's end. Good luck.

Sounds like it’s time to order some 330neos to me.

Apparently May/June but every time BS opens his mouth it makes it sound like we are short on certain categories so it doesn’t add up to me.

If you go through some widebody bid results almost every month, some will have double digit full lines unbid. It makes no sense to me. And it’s been going on since 2021

Right? The lack of info tells me they don’t even know. I know it’s a complex so I won’t be too hard on them
