I don’t think we even have that many planes coming. 200 yeah but 600 hmmmm
Hey I’m all for it but, I don’t see it.

At the very least, we keep half of them while speeding up deliveries of 220’s. As someone pointed out, we’re expected to start exceeding 2019 levels by the fall. I’m sure they plan to hire and train as many as they can.

Like in Orlando with the new a320 sim with 3+ more enroute, and the multiple a220 sims enroute? Good idea. I agree.
