Lol not 50 a month. It’s clear there’s an aircraft deal that’s been made. They’re just waiting for the right time to announce it.

Redo the math with 16.2 pilots per aircraft and add the pilots needed to bring the current fleet from 15.8 back up to 16.2.

I must have missed something. “Townhall” ? I didn’t see anything in the company email.
