4% of "domestic capacity" not the entire airline. Also most of this is coming from off-peak, lower demand days, so there will still be a need to keep hiring. United is adding international since we are adding 787s without retiring any widebody planes. 7 more 787s still to be delivered by the end of 2025 on top of the 6 we have already received since November.
We will still have to hire/train to replace retirements. I understand you are trying to "bistromath" this, but we will almost certainly be hiring/training after the summer because of training backfills from retirements.

Bet you a beer or two we stop hiring very soon until there's some type of stability in this crazy economy.

You may be right, but hopefully you aren't, because I think it'd be nice for everyone here if we kept hiring.

I don't think you listen to what Kirby's been saying for years. He wants to continue hiring exactly because the economy is crazy and he expects competition to shrink or pull back, allowing us to expand past them.

personally, I like the aggressiveness.

We currently have 1,018 planes and will have 1,048 by the end of the year, including the planes being retired and new deliveries, 7 of which are 787s. I'd be shocked if we weren't hiring pilots in the fall.

Casino only ban people that keep winning. I heard SK knows how to count cards and that’s why he was banned. If true, dude is smarter than we give him credit for. I also like this aggressiveness!

Well to be very very clear (from Airline MBA 101), when Airline Management types talk about cutting 4%……..its ASM’s!!
Jeez people, lets hope Kirby doesn’t see this, he’ll think we’re a bunch of dummies. It’s not airplanes, pilots, gate agents, super tugs, lighter choice beef crew meals, etc..Soo, you could cut 2 777-300’s with 350 pax a day each going from EWR-DXB for a 15 hour 6000 mile jaunt and that could be a 1% cut to UAL’s ASM’s..(just an example)..thats only 4 pilots but a whole ******load of ASM’s..

On that note, another new 787 was delivered today. 6 more coming before the end of the year.
The machine is going to keep chugging along.
