I too thought it interesting that they made/returned 22 744 capts. But, I also wondered if they were doing a final cleanup of the capt augmentation issue? I say this because there were NO 744 FOs.

How about MIA or FLL? I think LAX is too small, needs to grow in a big way.
If we add a new subfleet, say 30 some E175s, then we would have to staff those.
