Sounds awesome! But I’ve also been hearing 1200 planes in ten years for 4 years now and I think we may have a gain of maybe what 100 planes during that time? Obviously, a bunch has happened in the last four years but thats the point. 15000 by 2025 - dependent on everything being awesome.

If you believe every rumor you hear from another pilot, then I have some Iraqi Dinar to sell you. The exchange rate to Bitcoin is breathtaking.
Don't believe anything until the bid closes... you finish training... the airplane is sitting on the ramp... and you're strapped into the seat.
But just to be clear, the bet is if my seniority is able to hold the left seat in any domicile, no later than my 10th anniversary (early 2024) then I owe you BBQ and adult beverages at Hard 8 at your next recurrent.
If not, you buy me the same. (I also might gonna need an Uber home)
Did I get that right?

Believe me, I know, and yes, that’s the bet.
Just making a casual observation that the math and the events on the ground suggest you’re buying, and quite likely substantially sooner than 2024.
Pssst… forget IQD. Go for dogecoin and MXN combo.

Dosent management at name your airline always float huge growth numbers during negotiations?
next we'll hear we can only grow this much if we have a cost neutral contract.
Dont go drooling over that steak that was never there.
