Did your friend also inquire about how we will staff these planes (at least the captain side?)

Peter will be robbed to pay Paul. That's what this place has always done it. We need a dozen more airplanes to adequately serve the cities we fly to now. There will be no west coast expansion. Expect an email soon about what routes we are cutting to serve our new found destination darling.

Good to know! Stay tuned for more...

If there is an announcement on a new West coast focus city, I would have to guess the rollout would be slow. Probably not a crew base for a couple of years. It'll put MCO expansion on the back burner once again.

From where, I'd ask. Airbus is already maxed out on the assembly line. They can only make them so fast and the ones coming out are already accounted for.

There's really only one way for a quick expansion if that's where this company is trying to take us.
