Easy enough that I could explain it to my 8 year old nephew. If you can't get it, or just want to play court jester on the internet, that's not my problem. The hiring will continue (and perhaps pay continue to rise) despite whatever you think about it.

My position has always been "if we can staff it, the airplanes will come."
Until recently, the company has been a little delusional about what it would take to accomplish that, and I've personally said that to Doug Parker twice, as well as PSA's CEO.
Just because you think something happened one way, or you reserving the right to be butt hurt about it, doesn't change any of the above realities.
