I predict a random drug test will be administered to you soon.

My understanding is classes are still running, but greatly reduced size.

This reduced hiring is the result of 3 things

1. Reduced attrition
2. New contract allows reserves to pick up open time on days off
3. New contract did away with the JA/VJA system

Extreme increase in pilot productivity (by mostly lower tiered pay pilots)

Win win for Indigo..

...Who clearly know what they're doing.
The Aircraft are still arriving on property mostly as scheduled; albeit with a slight delay due to delivery issues with the LEAP engines.
The fleet will be 50% neo by the end of Summer I believe.
I wouldn't be surprised to see hiring resume largely as planned later in the year for the announced 300 or so new positions.

The 787 didn’t kill anyone. The max has killed 346 in a 6 month period.

187+159 =/= 400+

Yeah. bonus points for math, I suspect you might lose a few points for empathy on the Hogan.

I believe it's an IPO coming, not a sale or merger.

But that's just like my opinion, man....

On the internet...probably. In reality, anything but.

Look at my post history, I like facts, I don't like exaggeration, or the spread of misinformation when it can easily be avoided. 1 person or 346, either way its tragic. 400+ simply made me question if there was some 3rd accident I hadn't heard about.

I tried to find the correct number before I posted - but fixed it after someone corrected me - sorry 😐 I thought it was more
