Unless they know we’re getting more...

It was already announced no chance of more in 2020. Mesa got the last order, there is rumor of one more order of 19 but I wouldn't plan on anything. I just counted about 170 FO's on the 175. 5 per airplane is usually staffed.

XJTFO, I'm not sure how long you've been at XJT, but this place will never be overstaffed! By the time those folks get out of training we'll be short 20 to 30 pilots who have moved on.

Why do you think they're begging for new LCA and IP's Lots of movement.

Now we are trying to hire IP's off the street.

I've watched this for 22 years. Some things never change.
