71 + 105 = 176

Minus 33 or so lease returns (old 19's) if they return that many.

By 2021: 143 total ( about 2100 pilots)

Please add or correct anything.

Good days ahead.

That is what I am coming up with as well. So basically, the current fleet will roughly double by the end of '16. As long they can keep showing a profit while expanding.

Agreed. As long as our bean counters don't see red, we are good to go.

It's no secret that they are looking for people with good personality here. There have been some guys here that came in with not so desirable personalities in the recent months. I doubt any particular group has been black listed based on one persons attitude. But you never know.

As long as you're the cheapest when people click their mouse, nobody cares.

First the FAA must do what they were originally created to do: PROMOTE air commerce. Forcing an airline to fuel without passengers aboard all because they don't like the verbiage in a bull**** manual doesn't seem like promotion to me.
