Yes. 51 for new airframes. 109 total for the business. That includes 550s and god-knows-what conversions may come.

yeah thanks. also with hiring the latest from recruiters is small but frequent classes (think 4 classes per month of 8-15 per class).

I don’t know about “outstanding”, they’re alright though

Not same as yours but wish you the best!

Welcome to you both! Enjoy the journey and don't forget to have fun along the way. See you in the flight deck soon.

When was your interview?

I just don’t think the place is ready for all those airplanes AND pilot’s. They need some house cleaning and better operational planning first. Every week when the weather goes pie eyed, the place unhinges. I know everyone wants all this growth but sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for. Thirty percent growth is a lot and those airplanes are NOT in the best of shape and maintenance has their hands full now. More pressure to fly and fly broken equipment is NOT a good thing. I think they need to clean up their act first. Doesn’t the FAA have to sign off on this too. Have they even been watching.

They are! If you don’t use the apu it won’t break.

The union had something to say about that. That APU email was just down right silly.
