I’m saying you are talking out your arse. That’s what I’m saying man. We are shrinking right now because we have supply side issues, not demand side. Once they get that in order we will be expanding like gang busters. That’s the way this industry works. Management is always a day late and a dollar short and reactionary. WN used to be different but now we are the same. We will top 10K pilots and 65K people before you know it.
You are a Debbie downer, I get it. Some people are optimists and some are full of negative energy. You are the latter. You cherry pick fares, you cherry pick news, you most likely cherry pick what your spouse says….it’s all good I guess but let’s keep it to facts here. We will have more people on property by EOY 2022 then we had 2019 EOY. That will happen.
No I’m a realist. This is what Bob Jordan just said, the new incoming CEO,“I think we could have been less optimistic about how quickly we could get folks back off of leave and trained and all that,” Mr. Jordan said at a September conference hosted by Cowen, an investment bank.Originally Posted by LUVisLost

Thousands of employees volunteered for buyouts, early retirement or long-term leave during the pandemic. And the airline has had to bring on new employees to replace those departed workers to meet the demand, Mr. Jordan added.
“I’ve been at the airline for 33 years,” he said. “Constraints have always been, can you get aircraft, can you get airports, facilities, gates? This is the first time where the constraint is staff.”
He’s saying the same thing. We are having to hire people to replace the people we’ve lost. I’m my opinion the writing is on the wall. We have reduced capacity in hopes of turning the tide, of not having enough people capital on the ground to run the airline and turning a profit. So far that has not happened without tax payer money. Now you start throwing runaway inflation, fuel price increases, and a not so trustworthy administration in DC, the cost will start to add up. And in the past when the cost start mounting which they are, we will pull the plug on any growth and start to pull back. It’s like a broken record. That’s what they did in 2007, and it may very well happen again here.
