Yeah we’re getting hit with the expanded Pratt inspections that just got announced they’re planning on us being over staffed this summer due to it.

I don’t disagree and think they know something they aren’t telling us yet. Day trips being more efficient don’t account for this much reduction in hiring. Do you have any updated article that mentions it?

Right now, isn't our fleet only about 30 Pratt powered planes out of 130+ fleet?

25/136 to be exact. So we should almost double our P&W fleet by end of next year.

The Pratt inspections are for engines produced mid 2021 and earlier. I believe all of ours are after that date and don't apply.

I find it hard to believe that P&W would sell engines to Airbus with a known defect and Airbus would just ignore that defect and deliver them to customers with a note:
"Congrats on your recent purchase of an Airbus A321NEO. Oh, by the way, your $130M aircraft needs to go offline immediately for inspections, because P&W continues to manufacture bad fan blades and we continue to sling those engines beneath our airplanes. If you have further questions please call 1-800-SUCK-ITT"
The issue was contaminated raw material wasn't it? Seems like they wouldn't continue using that material for new deliveries.
