The E190 upgrades number almost the same as the A320 captain upgrades. Which is strange because:
1. The A320 fleet is 3 times bigger.
2. The A320 fleet flies 24 hours a day instead of 16-18, so again should need more pilots to staff.
3. All the deliveries this year are Airbus.
4. Airbus is generally more senior, more vacations to staff for.
Just don't understand how you need an almost equal number of E190 upgrades unless they are JUST NOW starting to beef up staffing on the E190 to prepare to beef up staffing later on the Airbus.
