They retired the prior 100 million dollar load and acquired a new loan at a much lower interest rate.

I’ll be flying during the conf call. I hope someone asks about the IAD Dulles renewal or not with United.

Still no CPA for the 700s which is very concerning. JO hopes to have an agreement in the “next few weeks”

“United has assured us the Embraers will be renewed”

JO points out the 700s this close to expiration already have flying scheduled. And points out that we are well positioned to convert 700s to 50 seaters.

He keeps making it seem like we are properly if not over staffed. And that we are hiring more pilots than what we need.

Hiring more than you need is a recurring theme lately. Cheaper to have more pilots than to pay fewer pilots with OT.

Except it’s not true. We are severely understaffed if we have unstacking which we do. Reserve grid is red red red. We are not even close to fully staffed.

Agreed in my opinion from iad seems we have just enough to keep from having excessive cancellations.

To me attrition seems low lately.
