129 aircraft out of 136 planned this year. 2037 pilots on Flica. Depending on how many pilots one thinks we need per airplane we are starting to get very close to understaffed. Then what? Then how long will this contract take?

That would be one of the fastest full contracts negotiated, ever. I used to fly for an indigo company and I think I'm safe in saying they don't negotiate anything quickly.

is our fleet of PW engines even old enough to be having these issues already?

I thought spirit had issues with them, because their fleet is several years older.
We just started getting ours back in November.

Didn’t you guys just rush though a new contract or something last year? Or was that spirit or JetBlue. Only thing I remember was some garbage being slammed in for a merger?
