Just my opinion, but there will always be 190 slots until the 220 is well onto property and JB starts selling 190s. (I don't see it as a 1-for-1 swap, at least not for the first few birds.) As mentioned, some of the younger folk get the 190, do a year, then move into the 320. Others like it and stay in it due to the rapid QoL movement on it. It all comes down to where you want to live and how you want to work.

Airplanes don’t get parked in a relatively good economy. When the music stops, the 190’s will go. Until then, why if they’re making money?

Right? We’re approaching the 400 for the year that was the goal.

I don’t think I ever heard 40 to start in nov or dec.

Ok, so it's not just me.

364 hired thru November. 15 of those have left already. 77 total attrition thru today. 4030 on the list (counting the 14 from today).

Not likely we will hit 400, but pretty close. More than the previous four years.

Consider where he is coming from (as I did in the other post where I responded to him). 409 hired is most likely accurate, when you combine the SL and the pool. And may well exceed 409 by years' end.

But I'm sure you think of it like I do, real numbers on a SL.
