That's last post of yours raises some pretty lofty goals...in this industry, that is setting yourself up for disaster! I'd just be wary of taking any of that to the bank!

So even though Shuttle has been struggling to catch up with current hiring levels (by sending pilots to Canada and Paris for training) since we can't get enough sims, you don't think 10 more planes will create a problem?
As far as having 60 pilots in new-hire classes, exactly which classroom are we putting them all in?

Paperwork says there are 60, so there must be 60.

Don't be too critical or you might be sent to the corner since you are in the "regional" forum.

Maybe in the upcoming classes. I'm trying to figure out where they're going to fit them in flight safety. I don't even think there are 60 there if you count all three certificates.

Maybe Bedford started hiring ninjas.

If that's true I might go 170 just to make you swing my gear alllllll dayyyyyyyyyyyy lonnnnnnnnngggggggggg
